THIS IS IT!

We just found out this morning that we will have Erin Cassidy in our arms on the 25th of January!! Sorry we haven't sent updates lately -- but there was really no news. Yes. We have been waiting since 30 November to find out our travel dates!

We leave for Hong Kong on Monday 22 January. We arrive Saturday evening the 23rd. We will spend the night in Hong Kong and fly to Guangzhou the next day -- the 24th. We have an appointment to pick her up on Thursday the 25th.

We will have her with us from then on. For two weeks we'll remian in Guangzhou -- where we will have appointments and meetings and interviews so that when we return home, she will be adopted, a U.S. citizen, and officially a Coghill!

We fly home 8 February -- her birthday! She'll be 10 months old that day. We have plenty to keep us busy for the next week, and we'll do our best to keep you updated.

Yes, we are on cloud 9 and I can't imagine coming down anytime soon.

Love to all of you,
Steve and Sheila
