Apparently this is the last TT. Bummer! Hope to see you guys around other memes..There are some cool ones out there! 13 things you do when adopting from China 1. WAIT! There is a lot of waiting going on. 2. Get organized 3. Do a lot of paperwork! 4. Enter the paperchase 5. Meet wonderful people 6. Attend an orientation 7. Join support groups 8. Get papers, have papers notarized and then certified and then state certified and then authenticated and then translated and then send to China 9. Learn about a budget because adoption does cost money 10. Answer a lot of questions and explain that you do not get to go pick one up ! 11.

Check your mailbox daily 13. worry about finding 8 group photos..Its hard..we don’t have that many There are many more things and if you want to read, hit our adoption blog at www.thechristoperfamily.blogspot.com Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

Great TT. I hope your wait goes quickly so you can bring your daughter home!
Thursday Thirteen has come to an end.
I have enjoyed my visits here and consider us friends.
Thank you for sharing your thirteens with me.
The comments you left me filled me with glee.
It is hard to believe it is really true.
I am trying very hard to not be blue.
Happy TT'ing!

What an amazing thing to do! my fingers are crossed that things run smoothly for you.
It has just taken two years for my sister and family to get approved as emergency foster carers, that was a lot of paperwork!
Yes, I know it's the last and it's making me sad. I have met wonderful friends here.
My T13 is up too.
The wait must be so hard!!! Thanks for the wonderful tt's! it's been fun, hasn't it??
Ooh, I have lots of friends who've done this; you'll get there. (one of my friends has done it THREE TIMES. Can you imagine? All that stress!)
Happy TT and may your daughter be your greatest joy.
Nice TT. Thanks for sharing!
Hope everything works out for you. Sounds like there is a lot of paperwork and red tape. Hope you keep visiting.
My 13 are up.
One of my supervisors is adopting from Russia, and if you can believe it, he says that from comparison between his experience and friends', it's even more difficult, expensive and confusing than China. Yeek!
Good luck with your adoption. All the wait and paperwork will be SO WORTH IT in the end.
So sad TT is coming to an end... I've enjoyed visiting your lists.
All the best to you with the adoption.
I know the wait has been a long one for you both. I hope to read some good news from you soon.
I hope that Thursday Thirteen doesn't go away. I contacted Leanne and I'm determined to rescue the thirteen if I can!
I was thinking of adopting, as pregnancy scares me! Great 13!
I hope you have your child sooner than you expect. Giving a child a home is an awesome thing. I admire y'all for that.
Great list. Sounds like a lot of work! Hang in there!
Didn't realize TT had come to an end. Enjoyed reading this one of yours Amy, could definitely relate to it!
I would hate the waiting part. Good luck!
I agree w. your Idol post. The boys were, overall, awful. I like Beat Box guy. And, the girls were amazing. And, Lakisha? WOW! Are the executives falling over themselves to sign her or what. I was so impressed.
group photos?
Hey Amy, I hope that the adoption goes quickly for you. I'll probably contact you when I decide to start the whole process.
I'm checking out http://thedailymeme.com/ to find other memes. Hope to see you around the blogosphere.
Best wishes on the waiting. I hope it goes fast for you!
I hope the time goes by quickly. Such an exciting time!
Sad to see TT go.
Great list! I like #10. You mean you don't just get to go there and bring back a baby? I hope the process goes quicker for you. It will all be worth it in the end. But I don't have to tell you that do I :)
Sounds a lot like adopting from Ethiopia! I'll miss the TT's too...
Goodness, what a lot of hoops. Good luck to you.

WOW! Great list. I have two friends that have adopted from China. They even started helping other adopt from China too.
Hope you have a blessed Thursday!

Hope it all works out for you asap!!
Sad that this will be the last Thirteen...I will miss it. I hope to see everyone around the Internet.
I wish you the best of luck with your adoption & new little one to love.
Such a lot of work and patience on your part! I guess at the end they know people are really committed to have gone thru so much effort! Good luck Amy and thanks for stopping by my TT - take care :)
I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible.
I'll definitely check out your adoption blog. (-:
I would love to go to China!!!
Good luck with everything!!!
