Last week Chinese New Year was celebrated and in China that
means a week long holiday—yes, all week!
That also meant it was a long, quiet week for those of us waiting for
news about our adoptions. I’m so close
to the end of this long process and my waits have been relatively short
compared to some others so I shouldn’t complain, but there are still two big
steps left for me. The first of those
two steps happened yesterday because Monday was President’s Day and the US
Consulate in China was closed. Now I just wait for China to issue my Travel Approval which means pretty much
what it sounds like—China will say yes, I can come get my boy! That can take anywhere from 7-10 days,
although just before the holiday some people were getting Travel Approval in 3
days while others waited over 20 days.
Pray for a shorter wait for me so I can start making travel
arrangements. I already have a pretty
good idea when I’ll be travelling, but can’t book flights until I know for sure
and rates are pretty good right now.
Although I mentioned in an earlier post that I can't share a picture...I'm going to leave this here. :)
