On Monday, we did indeed get our official letters from China allowing us to Travel and adopt Elliana and Isaiah!! So, so happy! With that phone call from our agency also came the disappointing news that the US Consulate in China, where we need to make our Consulate Appointment with, was closed as of that day for an emergency.
It was later released that the US Consulate had received a mysterious envelope in the mail room with a white powdery substance in it. Thankfully, no one was hurt. But it has caused an emergency shut done with no let out of an end in sight. It has been 4 days so far. We really wanted to leave on May 23rd and we are still praying for a miracle to allow that to happen. But it seems that will not happen. I even wonder if we can go the week after.
There are about 100 families in China right now waiting for their children's Visas and cannot leave until they are given. Some of these kiddos have serious medical conditions that they need to get back to the US for. This might cause a back up of appointments as they will need to reschedule the families from this week and possibly next week. There are many "what ifs?" that pop into my head sometimes. But I do trust the Lord, that He has our precious little ones in His hands and has already worked this out.
In the mean time, your prayers are appreciated. I will let you know as soon as we know more.
