A few more weeks

We heard from our agency the other day, well... agencies actually. Both agencies contacted us to let us know our TA will be here within 2 weeks. WOW!

We've heard that we won't be able to get a Consulate Appointment (the final step of the process) until mid-October so we may have to wait until Nov. to travel.... we will have to wait and see.

October is China is crazy. The first full week is their National holiday, and everything shuts down so no adoption stuff would take place then. The final 2 weeks in Guangzhou (the city where the american consulate is and were Mike will stay for 7 days) hosts a HUGE trade fair, and hotel prices are jacked up from 100 a night to like 500 a night, not something we can do really (and rooms fill up quickly...) So unless we can squeeze Mike in late Sept, we won't go until Nov. We've waited this long, it is so hard to wait longer but we know she is so well taken care of... it'll be alright.
