At last we are coming baby girl.

We are finished packing and ready to go. We had an early lunch and YaYo came to bring us to the airport. We were there at 2pm for a 4 pm flight. We met the couple from Alicante in the check in queue and I gave them their Travel Approval from Concha. They were called Ana and Vicente and they were travelling with their 7 year old daughter Ana to collect their 2 year old baby Estar. We also met another couple Jesus and Concha from Gandia who were travelling to collect their first child Carla who was 3 years old.

At the last minute Gonzalo, Cristy and Yaya turned up to say goodbye. We got on the plane to Paris.
There was very heavy snow in Paris when we landed and we had to change terminals.  We found the gate for the China flight and had dinner in a restaurant the 3 families together. We had to wait 4 hours before boarding Air France to Guangzhou China at midnight.
As soon as we took off they closed the airport due to bad weather conditions.

As soon as we were air bourne they served dinner and we gave Aaron a present of a new Nintendo DSI XL.
He played alittle and fell asleep. The flight was 11 hours and 45 minutes long. 2 hours before landing they served another meal.
We landed at evening time and it took along time to get through chinese customs.
At last we were in the same country as my baby.

Travel Group Meeting

Hello Baby,
Today I had a very busy day.

First I went to work and had tutorias. Then went running to Bancaja to take out 2680 euros to de a transfer in BBVA to china women services to pay the White Swan Hotel etc. Waited in queue in BBVA to be told no you cannot do a cash transfer so back to Bancaja to queue again and do the transfer. Then flying into the centre of town to meet our travel group in Piao and collect our papers in the adoption board.
The meeting was to give us all our dossiers and explain a bit about adoption day etc.

I then went back to work and then to the paediatrician to get prescriptions for everything that you or your brother could catch.


Then to the chemist to buy all.
We will pack this weekend.
In 9 days we go and in 12 days I will have you for ever.
Love you millions,
Abig big kiss from your mammy baby girl,

TRAVEL CONFIRMED - TICKETS BOOKED

Hello Little Miss Nora,
Today we got word that we have to travel on December 10th. and return on December 24th.
We are flying Valencia Paris Guanghou.
We have booked the three tickets to go and four to return.
It seems weird to use your chinese name on the ticket but you enter spain on your chinese passport.
Jian Ying Sui otherwise known as little Miss Nora.
We have soooooo much to do in a short space of time but the important thing is we are coming to get you baby girl. It is official that we are really going. Aaron is very excited about having a baby sister.

I am sorting out your room and don´t know what size you are so I am going to bring various sizes.

Goodnight baby. These are the latest two pictures of you which the agency have sent us. Love you millions.
Mammy.

Still waiting for travel dates and update.

Well Nora,

We have shown your picture to everyone in spain and ireland and it is definately true you are gorgeous.
I am getting frustrated waiting to know when we go. I am arguing with the agency to organise it as soon as possible. I CANNOT WAIT TO GET YOU ANY LONGER.

The latest is that maybe we can go on the 10 th dec and return before christmas but it is unsure. They have got approval from all the chinese authorities but are waiting for the spanish to get back to them to see if there will be consulate appointments in Ghanghou for those dates.
I have also been promised an updated photo. I would love to see you now.
I have finished painting your room and now I am going to sow the curtains.
Your auntie cristina gave us all the cousins clothes and shoes. Half of it may not fit you but you will definately wear some of it.
I hope you like the photo album and doll and jammies and blanket is keeping you warm. I sleep with your photo everynight.
Well I was promised that we would be contacted during the week and tomorrow is Thursday so lets see if its our lucky day and we find out when we can go.
Goodnight baby girl and I love you millions.
Mammy. xxxxxxxxx
