Waiting Is Just Plain Hard


We are still waiting for China to issue our travel approval, because only after this is issued can our agency apply for a Consulate Appointment. Sadly we received news that all the September appointments are now booked, and the soonest available is mid October. We were really anticipating travel during September. Every day she spends in an orphanage is one day we don't get back, and though we remain positive that she'll adjust well to her new home and family, certainly there are optimal windows for learning, development, and attachment that pass us by each day we are not with our new daughter.

Waiting is just plain hard.
