And there you have it. This is what we need to do in order to bring Qi Fu home as our very own. By the time we leave China, his adoption is final and he will become a legal US citizen when we enter the US. Seems so easy, doesn't it?
So exciting! I think you're still in the air--don't envy that plane ride. Looking forward to all the posts from China!
