Agency Update


I just recieved the following email from our agency. There is still an "IF" in this email, however, it's something! :)

Dear Guizhou families,

I received this information from our BJ Staff.

“The appeal letter has helped.

I contacted Guizhou local adoption center and the director gave us an approximate travel date. She said that if the H1N1 flu is not getting worse, they would like to receive our families in the middle of July. I have sent the appointment request for July 13th to meet the children. She told me to check with her early next week and she would confirm the date by June 10th.

Please see the tentative itinerary of Guizhou group below. Please do not let families book their airline tickets until all dates are confirmed. We have to change the ACS appts when the adoption date is confirmed.”

Fri, July 10-arrive in BJ
Sat, July 11- sightseeing in BJ
Sun, July 12-travel to province

Hi there Mardi,

When you go in to pay, just list the bows you want under the description.
And if you send in your payment with nothing in the description, that's fine. I know what you want from your comment.

Now, the Little Stitch bows are 2 inches long and are perfect for the little ones and selling like crazy.

The Bubble Gum bow is 5 inches long, VERY LARGE. I could try to make a smaller version for you if you like and charge you $5.00 for a pair. Would you like that? Or do you want the 5 inch bows?

Just let me know.

Thank you so much!

Kimberley
