Travel itinerary and new dates....again
It's official...we have a Consulate Appointment (CA) and our plane tickets have been purchased. And, big surprise, our dates have changed yet again. We were originally told we would travel from 7/10-7/23. On Monday we received out TA earlier than expected so our travel dates were moved up and we were told we would travel from 6/26-7/9. However, as I have come to accept and embrace, nothing in the adoption world is within my control and I had better just learn to go with the flow. Today our agency called and said our CA was scheduled for the later of the days requested, so we would not be able to return home until July 11. Then to top if off, all the flights were booked for June 26th, so we are leaving a day earlier on June 25th. I have decided that I am going to let go of the little stresses that are attempting to rob me of the amazing joy this miracle is bringing into my life. Whatever travel problems, delays or changes, very soon I will hold my daughter. Nothing else matters.

This is definitely one crazy ride! Hang to your hat because soon you'll be in China meeting your little one for the first time :O)Praying for your safe travels and an unforgettable "gotcha" day...
WWWOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That is so cool! Can't WAIT to follow along!
Great News Alicia. I can't wait to follow along too. I wish I could stowaway in your suit cases.
Just go with the flow, and enjoy...enjoy..enjoy.
Love ya
It really is a crazy ride so you need to just sit back and enjoy it. We had been told we were going to meet our children the day after we got to Jinan by our agency. Imagine our surprise when our guide told us on the bus ride to the hotel that the babies would probably already be waiting for us. Expect the unexpected :)
Oh, my, you are so close to leaving and finally holding your precious girl! We can't wait to follow you. Blessings~
Alisha,
I can't wait to follow your journey! Have fun meeting Ruth too ~ she is a great lady!
