Chinese proverb

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break."

A set back

Ok, I have calmed down enough to talk about it...

By now we SHOULD have our flights booked and everything set to leave for China next Thursday.

EXCEPT...there was a bit of a problem with the way our agency requested our Consulate Appointments (the girls' visa appointments in China).  So, we woke up this morning to an email from our agency that said our appointment requests need to be re-submitted.  The problem is... 7:30am on Friday in the U.S. is 7:30pm in China.  The work week is now done in China.  And that means nothing will happen until Monday morning at the earliest. 

We are still holding onto hope that we will be able to leave on April 4th, but now we will be booking flights only 3 days prior to travel...which will not be very economical!

It is often said that the process of adoption is not for the faint of heart.  We have lived and learned this.  But we have also learned that you can't let the frustration, set backs and emotions get to you.  Because there is a sweet, beautiful little one waiting for you, depending on you.  Time to push on, move forward and get there. 
No.matter.what!
