Officially Ours FOREVER


We finished up all the official paperwork and had the official swearing in ceremony today. Shelby Ann Kunhong is ours forever! She was dressed of course in red white and blue for the US Consulate Appointment today. She is just cute as pie :)

PS: Great night of sleep for everyone here!

What a happy moment! I remember getting teary-eyed at that simple little ceremony, but I was just overwhelmed that China was telling us "she's yours". Congrats!

This is a beautiful moment- At this time you know you can leave at any moment and she is forever yours. You feel like you can relax a little- China has said okay- When you land on US soil - she is officially an American - United States Citizen. Can't wait to meet Shelby- So glad you got your wallet back- GOD is very good. YEH.

If you go shopping again pick me up some bows - I will pay ya. You know I pay like 2.50 - 3.00 a pack!! Love the China dress - She looks like a little China Doll! - Rhonda
