My Chinese Butterfly

At last, some word from the Ministry for a couple of minor revisions which have already been done and faxed back to them by our social worker yesterday. Sent off the last payment before the Dossier is sent to China so hopefully as soon as we get the letter from the Ministry the Dossier will be off to China. Of course there are more payments coming up but I believe this is it for now until there is a referral that is accepted. A bit of excitement in the long pause of waiting for our government approval. Then our Dossier still has to be translated in China but I'm hoping our LID may be before the Chinese New Year shut down. We will see how that goes. At this point we are still childless but the stars are aligning, the red thread tightening around one little one that is meant for us. While I was on vacation last week this butterfly sat in my hand and on my arm for hours in the bus while travelling. Never had I had a butterfly in my hand before, so fragile so precious, perhaps my Chinese little butterfly.
