OMG!
What a week it has been so far. Dawn was in Montreal to sign some paperwork and receive the passports and visas from Formons. Well guess what.
No passports and no visas.
The original visas that Formons had asked had expired and now China did not want to issue new ones because our passport are expiring within six month of when we come back.
Dawn ran everywhere, our wonderful sponsor made many phone calls and of course so did Formons. Dawn was supposed to come back from Montreal this morning but we had to change that because she went to Ottawa to pick up the visas and passports. Thanks so much Jen.
So as I write, her plane from Ottawa is about to take off inbound Calgary and I will pick her up in Edmonton at 7:30 tonight.
So the good news is that everybody is leaving tomorrow morning as planned.

Quelle semaine!
Dawn était à Montréal afin de ramasser les passeport et visas de l'agence d'adoption. Arrivé à l'agence, il n'y avait pas de passeport, n'y de visas. Ceux que l'agence avait réussi à avoir auparavant était périmées et la Chine ne voulait pas en émettre de nouveaux car nos passeport expire avant le six mois requis de la fin du voyage. Un peu compliqué mais le tout pour dire que nous avions besoin de ces visas. Pas de visas, pas de Samuel.
En tout cas, après plusieurs appels de notre agence, ils ont finalement réussi à obtenir les fameux visas pour tout le monde.
Dawn est présentement sur un vol de Ottawa en direction de Calgary et j'irai à Edmonton la chercher à 7:30 ce soir.
Donc la bonne nouvelle est que nous partons tous demain matin.

Poor you.....You got to be kidding. Did you actually think it was going to be that simple...pick up the passports and visas and just head back home? Yeah right...When it comes to passports business it is never that simple. Things always have to be so complicated.
Thankfullly everything worked out and thst you guys are heading out as planned.
Take care.

OMG Dawn - I had no idea. Thankfully it all worked out but your stress level must have been through the roof (& that's something for calm little you).
You are in the air right now and I wish you a wonderful gotcha day with Samuel and a very peaceful trip.
All the best,
Wanda
(My appologies if you get two notes from me here (repeating!). I am not sure that I sent the first correctly.)
I am so happy to know that all worked out ok in the end. By now you are on your way to your son. I couldn't be happier for you!
Enjoy every moment of your journey.
Hugs from HOME,
Jen
