Will we or won't we...

... get to go to China for Christmas? That is the big question. We're kind of thinking that if we don't hear something this week, we probably won't go until January. Pleeeeease! Let us go to China for Christmas. What is the hold up? They already approved us to be her parents. Our paperwork made it through the review room back in September. Mark is now on vacation for two weeks. When is China going to send us Travel Approval? WHEN?! Very, very frustrating. Sonja, our agency's China Program director, has made several phone calls on our behalf. Still we wait. So will we or won't we? Maybe we'll hear something this week...and then again, maybe not. (Can you tell I'm having a hard time staying in my happy place. Patience is starting to wear thin. It's out of my control, it's out of my control...keep repeating and smiling.) I am so losing it.
