We're back in Guangzhou now to complete our paperwork for the US Consulate to get Caris a VISA to enter the US. She will become a US citizen at the moment we land in LA on Friday. Caris had to participate in the mandatory medical check-up yesterday, which is required by the US for entry into the country. The US-approved clinic was a swarming mass of adopting humanity. I imagine Ellis Island would have a similar atmosphere.
We are part of a unique adoption group. Our adoption was considered expedited because Caris has special needs. The other people who qualify for expedited adoptions are Chinese Americans. Our group consists of all Chinese American couples from California, us and one other family from Atlanta who is adopting an older girl as well. It's been a great experience to meet these Chinese Americans and have them talk to Caris in Chinese to make the transition easier.
