In full packing mode

My final work day yesterday was filled with excitement and joy, as the staff surprised me with a lovely luncheon to celebrate our long awaited journey. Just some loose ends to tie up at the office, and I'll be in full packing mode. Relief this morning, when they released the Canadian students out of their medical quarantine in China, so hopefully our trip will be smooth and without quarantining delays. We are prepared nonetheless, visiting our lawyer yesterday to have a notarized power of attorney, in the event Roger and I have to part ways in China if delayed, with him needing to return for work or other reasons, and then myself completing the adoption paperwork without him. We are trying to think of all scenarios, just to make the trip less stressful. Lots to think about, and I am so grateful to all who have sent me their words of advice and suggestions. We are truly blessed to have such supportive friends and family. Kristen will be here soon to meet everybody. 2 more sleeps!
