Our Daughter Lina

On 11/18, Lina and her CHI September 1 referral sisters (34 in all) all had their pictures taken for their US visas, and had the medical checkup that basically ensures they’re okay to bring to the US.

Trying (unsuccessfully) to wake a sleeping baby enough to take a visa photo

With Dad’s help, Lilyanne did better

Okay, getting serious now–all the babies besides Lina and Seely have had their pictures taken

You woke me for this?

Getting Lina’s attention

Her visa photo is a closeup of this.

How’d I do?

Seely wasn’t exactly a happy camper, either.

Waiting for the medical check

What now?

In we go.

Waiting with Daddy

Check was A-OK; now waiting by the river for the bus back to the hotel

It took way too long to check in to the White Swan Hotel–you’d have thought they weren’t expecting us. The folks with the Holt agency were worse off, though; they came in behind the 34 CHI families.

After checking in, we headed to Lucy’s for lunch. JaiLi relaxed.

Dad (Joe) to the rescue.
