Today we had our oath and swearing in ceremony at the U.S. Consulate. It was a really moving ceremony. The Consulate Officer announced all of the birthdays for the month, and Daniel Murphy was the first child mentioned! She noted how many special needs families were in the room. It was a record-breaking year for special needs adoptions. She also brought attention to a family who was back in China for their 9th adoption!
Daniel's visa will be ready tomorrow afternoon, and we depart on a 6PM train for Hong Kong. We will spend one night there and fly out Friday morning for home:)
