Juni turns 14-months-old today. Happy day to you sweet pea!
I am so unbelievably sad right now. We are still waiting on our Travel Approval from the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs. We first thought that we would have the approval before Christmas and travel near the beginning of January but it hasn't come. Then we thought that we would get it yesterday with the loads of other TAs that began arriving on the online adoption boards. No show. Also maddening is the fact that there are folks getting their TAs after waiting 11 days. Somehow our group is not included although we have all waited 29 days for this news. Our agency says we are in the window and hope to hear soon. Arggg. It is so depressing to be delayed at this point especially after both China and America have approved our match three months ago. I know Juni is probably fine but my heart is just breaking knowing that she is learning how to walk and talk and everything right now. We just want to bring her home. Aidan and Sam ask about her every day and wonder when they will get to play with her. I keep having to tell them that we are still waiting for news and that hopefully we will bring her home soon. To top it off, if we don't get our TA this week, there will most likely be no more U.S. Consulate appointments available until after the Chinese New Year. That means we wouldn't travel until mid-February. Dear God, please tell me this won't happen. Please tell me that we will be holding our little girl in the next few weeks...
Hugs to you my friend, praying TA comes this week! It's just not right that she isn't in your arms already. So sorry.
