A bit more details on Ms Isabella Wong!

In the UK we don't have an agency just a governmental department so things a bit slower than other countries. In addition this will only be the UK's 3rd Hague adoption ( other two currently happening in China!).

We have found out the name given over the telephone was wrong, the poor lady had problems in reading the pin yin. Isabella is called Gong Fu Le and is in Bai Se City You Jiang District SWI, Guangxi ( NW on the map!).

Our lovely social worker received all her pictures and documents today and has sent them to us by registered mail so we should get them tomorrow or Saturday ( yes in time for Fathers day on Sunday!). So hopefully I can post her picture finally over the weekend.

I have got the address of the SWI and as we are meeting my MIL and FIL on Saturday anyway, So they can translate the Chinese characters of her name, get her generation name and her care package letter written and ready to mail.

We are meeting our SW on Tuesday and then can hopefully send the acceptance letter back to China. OMG it suddenly feels real!

I have already bought my DH a fathers day card which says from your little girl! He is going to make the best Daddy or Ba Ba
