Oh, we got a surprise in the mail today! To be honest I had actually (almost) forgotten about getting this. We got our "Brown Envelope" today. For those who do not have a clue as to what I'm referring to, well this is a packet from the U.S. Consulate in China, saying that they have received our file from the USCIS office here. What's it in you may ask? Well, lets take a peek.
1- A Letter that is just explaining things.
2- A welcome letter from the adoptions unit in Guangzhou (pronounced Guan-Joe)
3- A map of the U.S. consular section location and surrounding area.
4- Application for immigrant Visa (for our daughter to be able to leave China)
5- Consulate medical exam form (for her)
6- Affidavit concerning exemption from immigrant vaccination requirements for foreign adopted child.
So in a nut shell, it is just some more paperwork that we have to keep up with during this LONG wait.

Congratulations on receiving the Brown Envelope!!! Wow, it did take a loooong time for you to get it!
Congratulations!
We were kind of befuddled when we got ours - it's an odd little packet of stuff if you ask me. But hey, and sign of progress is a good one in my book! ;-)
I really think I am the only one who hasn't gotten that.....
Yeah! Isn't it a nice surprise when that comes. I thought ours was a coupon package from sears.
Doesn't it feel good to have something to hold! I have mine in the Dining room. It almost looks like part of the decor...well it does not me. Others just don't get it. I love to walk through and see it and smile!
