Mackenzie Day 11

Today was a big day for our little princess! Today Mackenzie was sworn in as a US citizen. She is an honorary citizen until we land in Chicago. As soon as she sets foot in America, the process is complete, and official! There were about 45 families with us there all getting sworn in, it was so exciting! Now we just need her visa, which we receive tomorrow, and we can take our girl home! Hurray!!!
Three tour buses drove all the families to the American consulate…

    Joanna-Have so enjoyed following your final leg in this long journey of adoption to your sweet Mackenzie. She is beautiful and the pictures are incredible, you've both done such a fantastic \”job\” of recording your time in China for later years and to share. Blessings to your family of 3!
