Patience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I'm tired of being patient. I have been patient for three years. We were hoping to hear something today about travel dates and by 4:00 pm we still had not heard anything.

So....I called my agency. They said they still had not heard travel dates from China. China is setting up appointments for us right now. We will need to meet and interview with government officials when we are there, do MORE paperwork, etc.

I said I understood that they did not have exact travel dates but could they let me know what they thought they would be approximately?

They said Rick and I have a ten percent chance of going before April 15 and a 90 percent chance of going the second week in May. (China's government offices are closed April 15-April 30 due to a trade fair, so adoption travel doesn't happen then)

We can handle that, it's good to kind of know for planning for our jobs, getting the nursery wrapped up, etc.

I did cry. On May 12, Jinnae will be 9 months. I feel like I am missing so much. Rick and I are going to send Jinnae's foster parents a goody basket for them and Jinnae. It will have blankets, stuffed animals, a camera, and lots of film. We are going to ask her foster parents to take tons of pictures of Jinnae for us.

God is good. Thank you for all your prayers.

Happy first day of Spring!!
