Today is the day!!!! We have our appt at the US Consulate office @ 8:30. We rode in a van with the Doerr family, who also had their appt at the same time. We got into a large building. We were not allowed to take cell phones or cameras through security. Its alot like the DMV..windows and a waiting room. We got to meet alot of other adoptive families and beautiful children. Kyle even got down and played with them. Normally in crowds he latches on and has to be held if he is not in the stroller. We all had to take an oath for him. To be honest..I have no clue what we even said, I was in awe that this was our last step!! Then each family got called up with all of their paperwork and they asked you a couple of questions and you were done! It's offical..Kyle Bradlee Allen is a US citizen as soon as he steps foot on American soil!!

Once the Doerr's got finished we were back to the van and off to Shamian Island. The island use to be where all adoption physical and consulate (from my understanding) was held. It is lovely there and away from all the normal traffic. Alot of beauty and it is so peaceful. It is a very popular place for photographers. We saw quite a few bride & grooms there, along with other models have shoots. There was cheap shopping too!!! We picked up some North face jackets and Kyle got a bookbag.. We had a fun day making great memories. The new US citizens enjoyed a snack break while the momma's were shopping. They enjoyed the all american "Rice Krispy Treat" LOL.
