Any Day Now

Well, here we are.

Our final paperwork was sent to Beijing on Thursday of last week, and now we're in a waiting game.

The final travel approvals have been taking 2-7 days on average lately, and here we are on day 5 and I'm just ready. We are ready to get her and be home and get into our new normal. We've been in this weird state of limbo where we can't make any plans, and instead have to come up with numerous different scenarios depending on when we get travel approval, and when we can leave.

If we don't get approval by tomorrow, leaving around the 6th is pretty much out of the question. Family Days (or Gotcha Days) are only on Mondays, so we would have to scoot our timeline back another week and make plans from there.

Will you pray for our travel approval soon? Will you pray we have patience in the meantime while we have this last period of unknown? I have come to know lots of momma's in process at the same stage as us, and right now we haven't seen a travel approval come since last Thursday... So, there are lots of babies waiting on their mom's and dad's, so a big batch of travel approvals from Beijing in the next day or so would be a very good thing.

I can't wait to update you all the next time with solid dates and timelines! I have piles to pack in my closet right now, but I don't want to jinx myself and put it in a suitcase :)
