We'll be leaving on a jet plane...

.... November 14 heading to China to bring our daughter, ElleAnna Suo, home. Our Consulate Appointment (CA) has been confirmed for the morning of November 26. The concern right now is how long it will actually take for her passport to be issued by the Chinese government. It used to be that they were all done in one central location, but now, each province does their own. It is a new system which does have a few unexpected twists and turns. There is another family from our agency in the Liaoning Province right now (which is where we will be going). We'll see how long it takes them to get the passport for their child and then, we will know how long to anticipate ElleAnna's taking. Once we have that critical piece of information, our agency will finalize our travel plans. As it is now, we fly out on November 14 and return home on November 28 - with ElleAnna in our arms (or hanging onto our hand, or running down the aisle trying to get away from her brothers, or....).

Thanks for following our journey as its been a long, winding, and complicated road with oodles of detours and roadblocks.
