Well last week was full of unexpected changes. First, we learned that April 2-4 is a Chinese Holiday so we couldn't use our original leave date. Thankfully we had not yet purchased our flight tickets. They suggested we leave on 4/3 and get Bella on 4/5. So we start adjusting plans with the travel agent. Then we find out China cannot accommodate the April 5 Gotcha Day and learn we will have to get a new consulate appointment. Again, we had the travel itinerary from our agent but had not completed the purchase. (Dale was out of town so I was hesitant to make all the final plans until we could talk. Thankful I procrastinated!) i discussed my concerns about getting a later date with Sabrina and she said she would try for the week earlier! She was grea, we were so pleasantly surprised by an EARLIER consulate appointment. We now leave on March 24 and get Bella on March 26; returning home on April 7, 2012.
We do believe and have believed all along that God had a plan and thar He orchestrated the dates all things in the adoption process. We fully believe and know He worked it out and that March 26 is our divine appointment for meeting Bella. Psalm 26:3 seems so appropriate, "for your love is ever before me, and I continually walk in your truth."

ReplyDeleteI love Chocolate Noodles (not to eat...the name). This is so exciting! I can't wait to see you all together as a family! I look forward to updates and pictures. I can't believe I have been following your adoption process all this time and somehow I missed the fact that you have been keeping a website. I sure wish I had known about this earlier. How do I miss these things?
