Trick or Treat!!

Hi everyone... we have not heard from Ben today and he has not posted any additional pictures for us to add. If I am figuring things correctly they are probably traveling today.(correction they did not travel this day but a couple of days later) After getting Lily's Chinese Passport in the Province where she was adopted they will go to Guangzhou which is south of where they were and closer to the South China Sea. In Guangzhou Lily will be seen by a clinic where adoptive families are required to get some paperwork about the health of the child for the American Consulate where they will issue her a Visa to enter the United States. Since Ben and Carla both traveled to China the adoption was finalized there and because of all the paperwork done during the pre-China phase Lily will become an American Citizen when she arrives and steps (or is carried ) onto American soil. That is an awesome thought. This time last week she was in an orphanage in China and soon will be a Citizen in The United States Of America, and she is part of wonderful family who will love and cherish her. Praise God.

I will try to check for emails and additional pictures about 5:00 am and post any I can before work in the morning.
