Appointment with the Consulate Approved

BIG NEWS! CCAI just received our appointment with the US Consulate in Guangzhou for Nov 13th. So now we can buy our international airline tickets to Hong Kong. We will be leaving on Oct 30th and returning Nov 15th.

Travel Approval from China

Friday Oct 17th, CCAI received our travel approval from China. CCAI can now schedule our appointment with the consulate in Guangzhou. The entire trip is based on this date. We will receive all of Kylee's legal documents on this day.

The Match is made

After 3 very long years of waiting, we recieved a very special phone call from CCAI on Sept 30th telling us that we had been matched with a beautiful 12-month old girl!! She was born on September 6, 2007 in Fuzhou SWI, Jiangxi Province. Her Chinese name is Fu Na Ke (Fu=surname, Na = Graceful, Ke=Approved). Her american name will be Kylee Grace Ruhser. We really couldn’t be more excited!!

Some details about Kylee Grace:
Wakes up at 6am, takes one nap a day at 10am, stays up till 10pm. Primary diet is milk with a little rice – will eat other items if offered. Likes to play and be with other children, loves to listen to music and her favorite toy is a little panda.

Trip:
We will be leaving in 4-5 weeks to China and stay for 12-14 days for all legal work to be completed. We will fly into Hong Kong and receive Kylee on the second day there. My mom and dad will be coming to share with us this miraculous time.

Thank you so much for all of your love and support!!

Love and Blessings ~

Monica and Rich.
