TA or otherwise known as Travel Approval from China! So next week begins our planning of our trip to go get our Cherry Blossom! We hope to leave February 28th or March 1st and we will have her in our arms March 4th for Gotcha day.
We will be in Beijing for the majority of the time and then we will be visiting Guangzhou for a few days. As I type this we are both excited and overwhelmed to be one step closer to our daughter. With TA we could leave as early as tomorrow if we wanted to, but due to Chinese New Year we have to wait. There is that word again....WAIT. It has easily become my least favorite four letter word.
Earlier today when I noticed that other people from my facebook groups were getting their TAs I contacted my agency. She told me very kindly that she had contacted China and our TA had not been completed yet and we would have to WAIT until next week. As Chinese New Year approaches this sent me into my "What ifs?!?!" I spoke about in my last post. All day I worked on Cherry Blossom's room so that I wouldn't get upset and cry. Thankfully, because of some pretty white stuff on the ground I was able to be home all day. (FINALLY a snow day!)
Again......I had my plans and they were not working out the way I wanted. Sometimes I just need God to hit me over the head and today he did. At 5:30 tonight, as I was talking to The Rock, I looked at my cell phone and realized that I had missed a call from my agency. I called her back and she did not answer so I checked the email I had been stalking all day and there it was. Our TA had MIRACULOUSLY appeared!
Thank you to all of those who have prayed for us this past year and now we get to WAIT just a little big longer!
