Got an email this morning from our agency - they believe the Chinese Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption has mailed some travel approvals, and based on the date our Article 5 was submitted they expect that ours is one of them! Hopefully we will know for sure tomorrow - the suspense is killing us! - but in the meantime, our agency has given us some possible travel dates so that they can be ready to request our consulate appointment just as soon as they have our travel approval in their hands...
We might leave around July 6-8 and return around July 20-23. Or, if our agency is unable to get consulate appointments that will work for those travel dates, we would leave around July 13-15 and return home around July 27-30.
So for now, the uncertainty remains, but our agency is so professional we have to believe there's an awfully good chance our travel approval will arrive in the next couple of days or else they wouldn't have suggested otherwise. We won't truly know our itinerary until our consulate appointment is confirmed and we can book our flights. If our travel approval arrives at our agency's office tomorrow or Monday, we could have a confirmed consulate appointment by the middle of next week. Then the real craziness begins.
It's almost hard to believe that it's actually going to happen. In less than a month!
I am on the edge of my seat!! I've checked your blog several times today to see if you have heard anything! Can't wait for the big TA announcement!
