Emm Yun Wen

Yes , decided to at least leak out this much information. Our daughter we waiting for from China is named Yun Wen. We have decided once we get back and go through the re-adoption process and all of that her name will be Emma YunWen. We will give her the choice as to what she wants to go by. Figured that at 12 she has been called YunWen her entire life and that is an important part of who she is so it should remain her name. However we also wanted to give her a name of our choosing and Emma was what we decided on after much much discussion. At one point we threw Josie out there just for the heck of it. Sadie latched on to that one so quick it wasn't even funny. Took forever to convince her that big sisters name was Emma YunWen. Well Pictures will come once we have the LOA, I promise.

Day 40

Well today makes day 40 that our dossier has been logged in in China. Not really much to report as far as that goes. Good news is a few folks from our agency have gotten their LOA's in 40-50 days so maybe fingers crossed, we will be getting that announcement soon. From there we have to process our I800 and wait to hear back for travel approval. That process seems to run anywhere from 5-12 weeks. That being said looks like we may go sometime late Jan. to late Feb. Who knows. The waiting is tough and no fun at all. But it is something you have to go through as part of the process. I will post more once we get that LOA folks.

Update from China!

Well we have been logged in a couple of weeks and all is going along smoothly, hope it stays that way. On the update from , we got an email where our daughter in China answered a bunch of our questions and we got 6 new photos that are about a week old. In the pics she is wearing an outfit we sent over to her in a care package. We still are not posting pics yet online or giving out any info as we just want to keep it with the family. Once we get an LOA we may post more so we hope you understand. But it continues to be an exciting time for our family and thanks for all of the support.

News news news!

We I have not had a chance to update as Sadie has been down with the flu, she is better now just staying home one more day with her to be safe.

Anyway we officially have our Log in Date in China and now just wait for the process to continue!

Still waiting.....

Well we are in that period of just hanging out and waiting and waiting some more. Our dossier has been complete and it has been sent to China and is the the translation stage with CCAA. From what we have been told we probably won't here much over the next month or so as it all just has to go through the process. That is a part of it.

On the homefront looks like Sadie may have H1n1. Nephew had it and shook it and she was around him before he came down with it. Hopefully it will be mild and we can get through it. Other than that business as usual in the Peacock household.
