Well, this Saturday is Holly's birthday. She turns 5 years old. I really hate that we are not going to be there with her, but, I guess I should have expected that there would be further delays. The USCIS has requested a homestudy addendum to address the fact that Mindy turned 18. That is going to slow us down for a bit, but, once that is done, things should start moving again, and be back in the hands of the Chinese government.
Anyway, since we won't make it in time for her birthday, I have sent Holly a birthday care package thru a service called Red Thread China. They have promised that she will get her cake, and presents on her birthday, and are going to translate a letter for us to the orphanage director. They will also call the orphanage and ask ten questions, just like the last service I used. I would have used the ladybugsinlove service again, but, they are closed from tomorrow thru January, due to the owner being busy helping a friend with her adoption trip, so, I went with Red Thread.
I can't wait to hear the answers to the questions and see pictures of Holly celebrating her birthday for the first time.
