We received an email confirming our new Consulate appointment! It is set for November 15th, and we are scheduled to be in Beijing on Nov. 2nd. Now we can finally buy plane tickets! It is an exciting time for us who have been through the wringer with waiting and all the gauntlet that comes with that.
It feels very surreal right now...only 2 and a half weeks until we go to China to pick up our new, ten year old daughter....wow.
I'm overwhelmed with both thankfulness and amazement and with the preparations of lesson plans so I can be gone from my school job and packing to the detail all you need for a trip like this.
But if I've learned one thing it's trusting God just one day at a time for one thing at a time. Do what's in front of you to do as it comes.
I can only wonder what little Selah Yuanyi Skye must be feeling and thinking. I pray for God to prepare her in every way to meet us for the first time.
We have been shopping for her, some necessities, "cute outfits and pjs, etc..." for the first couple of days until we can shop more in China. She will most likely come to us with the clothes she is wearing and that will probably be it.
What an honor to be able to become her mom...
