The waiting Process....
We talked to our agency at length today regarding best and worse case scenarios, in regards to our travel dates to China. From what we understand, we could be waiting up to 4-6 more weeks for the paperwork necessary for us to book our flights (8 weeks from receiving those papers)...thus potentially another 14 weeks before we go.....which would put us into January before we travel (given Christmas, New Years, etc). Best case scenario is that the US Consulate in China reviews our paperwork and the need for us to travel before the new year and makes an acception for us to travel sooner (early December-ish).
Originally we were hoping and praying for a November travel time, but we are now realizing that it might even be next year. As you can imagine, we are trying to come to grips with this potential reality. We are surrendering this to the Lord, as HE knows tomorrow. HE knows how much we love Naomi, as HE loves her even more......so we trust and as we wait, we ask that you join us in prayer that this current process would run smooth and that the US Consulate would find mercy on our case and allow us to travel before Christmas.
Thank you for joining us in this wonderful journey to bring our Naomi home.
