Here we are outside of the US Consulate. They have brand new, super secure offices and we were not allowed to take any photos - not even of the building. Ancui (Jemma) and Anwei (Norah) are two of the three measle babies who made it through the red tape in spite of their recent illnesses. We all swore in as a big group with the Vice Consul of China, who by the way, sports a very hipster goatee, that all of our adoption information was true. We had to promise not to open the brown envelope of papers which will be given to us with her visa. This envelope is given to immigration upon our arrival in the US where Jemma immediately becomes a citizen. Ellen tried to steam open the envelope over a hot bowl of congee.
