The authenticated docs arrived tonight from the China Consulate.
I have been waiting a long time to say that.
It has been a doozy of an afternoon and evening, but now I can celebrate the authentication process being DONE! Now that is what I call a silver lining.

Almost there. Summoning up the last grains of energy for the day.
We are officially IN THE PAPERWORK HOMESTRETCH:
I am so so so tired yet I have some photos to do for the adoption dossier (kev and I around our home), and MUST do them tonight.
Mr Tam reports that our papers are on their way back via UPS, and the photos will get added to this batch of papers then we send them to Holt Int'l in Oregon.
I can just imagine, with how tired I am and this headache that is brewing, that these pictures will be very interesting. LOL Any one have makeover in a bottle? How about miracle eye-bag cream?

January update
Dossier docs requiring authentication are at the China Consulate in NYC. Mr Tam says they should be done next week.
Last night we received an UPDATE of our precious baby. She is getting so big now. She is BEAUTIFUL! She is just slightly older than 10 months right now.
They said she can sit for a short period of time and then topples over, and she has 4 teeth.
She likes to smile when people smile at her. aw.
She looks so healthy.
We also got to see the couple that is fostering her. I was overcome with emotion and prayed for them a prayer of deep gratitude.
I can see that they really care about her. The report says that they love her.
It will be hard to know that Phoebe will be missing them and vice versa.

Celebrating China Consulate!! And a perfect little card.
This weekend has been interesting. I have been quite sick, but at the same time had a big thing happen as we shipped our docs to the China Consulate n NY.
Actually, we shipped them to Mr. Tam. :) He will be processing them over to the consulate for us; he is a courier.
It was crazy trying to photocopy everything while it has staples in it (they are null and void if you remove the staples...which would set us way back in time and money), yet one must fold it over and copy in such a way to keep it looking nice and crisp.
Each document had at the least 2 pages, and at the most 12 pages. Then the way you are charged per document gets confusing...etc... another hurdle in this process which is sent off on a wing and a prayer,
So, even though I am sick (cough, head ache, tired, you get the drill....) I had to still have a mini celebration!!
Therefore, I made chocolate chip cookies (they are medicinal, are they not? Take two homemade chocolate pecan melt in your mouth cookies and call me in the morning? no?.....)
And, OH, look at this most precious card that came in the mail. Be still my little mama-heart.
{I don't think that these images do the card justice, taken with my cell phone, but it really is sweet and I really do love it: the sentiment, the pictures, the silhouettes in the house including the kitty, and finding it in the mailbox, all just scrumptious! Can I move in?}

This is a HUGE step, it is the very last step before we send everything to Holt for their review, then they send it off to China and we will be "DTC".

Thank you, Kelli, for sending this adorable card. And what a perfect time to receive it, as we celebrate our consulate authentications.
