Oooh...the "Brown Envelope"
Strangely enough I only read yesterday, a post on one of my Yahoo Groups about a "brown envelope" that some people recieve, and some don't in the mail. I have never heard of this and all of the sudden today, in the mail, came a brown envelope from Guangzhou, China.
Basically it is the paperwork that we take to the U.S. Consulate General pertaining to our daughter's immigration and visa. The cool part is the actual medical form that they will use when we take her for the medical exam at the Consulate...Seeing all that beautiful Chinese writing is just one more thing that reminds us that this "so out of our control" process is for real!
I guess it is just a formality as I also heard you will fill out these same documents right before your Consulate appt. in Guangzhou, and your CCAI rep will give you the papers you need again anyways. It's still cool to see!

I agree - it's just one more thing that makes it "official"!
You mean I'm going to have to keep track of a plain brown envelope for over a YEAR?!! This is one of the ways Murphy's Law applies to adoption I guess. Congrats on getting this little unexpected reminder of the red thread.
Cool- it is like you willed it to you.
