So, just heard from our adoption agency. The consulate would not take documents on Tuesday due to the holiday on Monday, so we have to wait until Thursday to submit. Those will become the signed Article 5, 14 days later on October 28. The courier in China will pick them up that Thursday, and hopefully deliver them to the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) the same day. When they have the Article 5, they can begin processing our travel approval. Of course there is a wait for that too.
Our agency says while travel Thanksgiving week, as we are praying for, is possible, it is not probable. Their projection is closer to the first or second week of December at the earliest, not what we wanted to hear.
But...our God is a God of miracles, and He says to be specific in our prayers. We will all continue to pray specifically that we will indeed travel in November. Very specifically, we want to be in China Thanksgiving week. He has moved mountains before, so we are not giving up.
While this news knocked me down, I am not out! I will continue to pray and believe on behalf of Kennedy who deserves to be home as quickly as possible! Will you join me?
