5/14-15 We have no paperwork or appointments during these two days. I am hoping we can find a park to take Madison to. We also plan to get some shopping in. We will also be spending time on the phone with Jake and Becca as Sunday is Mothers day. How wonderful it will be to have my baby on Mother's Day.

5/16 Madison has her visa physical and photo today.

5/17 Consulate appointment today.

5/18 Today I go to the U.S. Consulate to take the oath. As far as I know, this oath is a promise to love and accept Madison as if she were my own. How hard is that??
