I am in tears, I can NOT thank those of you who have prayed for our baby, our family and this crazy journey.
I do have to laugh at how crazy this journey has gone.
We were in a race in the beginning and asked for major prayers to meet a deadline we didn't think possible except with God's divine intervention.
And we ended this race again knowing that without God's divine intervention it would be impossible.
Well, He did it once again.
While most consulate dates are scheduling the first 2 weeks in Dec ours is

NOV 29th at 10 am!!
The last possible appt for us to travel over Thanksgiving.
So many praises over this
Tristan will only miss one week of school
AND of all the weeks of the year it is one of the least intensive.
He will only miss 6 days so we won't have to reenroll him for school.
My husband won't be as stressed trying to juggle Holiday sales and 4 kids and school and activities.
(although we did have help for this THANKS Aunt Cindy for offering to come out!)
I don't have to reschedule all of Griffen's Dr appts I made months ago.
We will be able to celebrate Christmas for real this year!
The kids will be in school for 2 1/2 weeks once we return so we can get acclimated and poor Griffen will have some time to adjust to our crazy family before they are home for Christmas break.
OH and jsut encase the China rep asked me if I wanted to get Griffen on Sunday or Monday - um let see

Our expected Calendar for this month!
Super happy for you! Sorry we won't meet in China. Safe travels!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!! Looks like a great way to spend Thanksgiving to me!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply amazing and only orchestrated by the Father who can't wait for little Griffen to be in his family. Yay! Happy for you! Julie
ReplyDeleteGreat news!! So thankful that we serve a God who cares about us and answers our prayers! : )
ReplyDeleteHe's a God who DELIGHTS in showing His love, even in the details of schedules. This happened for us in both of our adoptions while we were working on an academic calendar, with our youngest coming home 8 hours before the start of school!
