Zoe
The sealed brown envelope is in our hands along with Zoe’s TB xray. The envelope remains sealed until immigration officials open in Chicago upon our arrival there. It was given to us Wednesday at our U.S. Consulate appointment. In addition to the “Brown Envelope” we were asked to swear that all information given was accurate and correct and this was the final step on our journey for Zoe to become our daughter. The room at the Consulate was full of adoptive parents. We all raised our right hands, took the oath, and we were done.

Yay!! Not too much longer now and you will be home! The day at the consulate was such an emotional and memorable time for us. To see all of the American parents with their Chinese babies, swearing them in as American citizens was overwhelming. And holding onto that brown envelope kept me a nervous wreck. I had this fear that somehow it would come open and then they wouldn't let us bring Malia home!
I just hate that I'm not going to be there to see you walking down that airport corridor with your beautiful Zoe!
Thank You for sharing your journey. Thank You for sharing your heart. God has blessed you with a beautiful family! Congratulations again on your beautiful Zoe!
