| Holt Families |
The clan applied for Danielle’s US Visa yesterday at the US
Consulate. Sorry, no photos allowed. It was very déjà vu as we had been in the same place three years prior with
Elyssa. We all noticed that we were in
the room right next to the one from the previous visit. After taking an oath with the other families
affirming that we told the truth on the immigration forms, we waited for about
30 minutes for our turn at the window.
We should get our visa this afternoon.
That’s the last official thing we need to do before going home! I must say that the staff at the consulate
were very nice and really seem to love helping the adoptive families bring home
their children.
After the visa
appointment, we went to the Six Banyan Temple.
We didn’t go to this Buddhist temple
during our last visit. It was a very
peaceful place and we even got a blessing from the monks there. Elyssa got some holy water in her eye!
The rest of the
day was pretty relaxing as we took our afternoon naps and then took a group
photo with the six other Holt families.
The staff from Holt even took the famous Red Couch from the White Swan
hotel and brought it to their office in this hotel. Very nice!
After the photo
shoot, we went out with our friends, Dan and Helen Brandt, to our favorite Chinese
Italian restaurant for dinner. All in
all, a good day and one day closer to home!
