Consulate appointment arrived today!

Well, we continue to Praise God and laugh aloud at His incredible timing! I LOVE His sense of humor! We got our consulate appointment today for Feb 9th which means that we will be looking to depart for China on 1/26 or 1/27 depending on how the airfare arrangements work out. We've been in touch with all 3 travel agents that were recommended by CCAI and all 3 have made tentative reservations for us to review. As I look things over, I am, once again, reminded of God's incredible attention to detail. We were talking things through last night to figure out what would be the easiest & simplest for Lily & Jasmine and came up with a "wishlist", if you will, of how we'd like to travel. We are hoping to travel out of Colorado Springs as it will be closer to our house and be easier to get transportation to and from the airport. We are hoping for direct flights on each leg, red eye flights as it will work better w/both girls' schedules and finally we're really hoping to find flights on Singapore Air as we're told they're #1 as far as family-friendly. The only problem, we're finding out, is that most airlines are booked to the hilt because of Chinese New Year so flights have been hard to find. Well, 1 of our travel agents has come up w/an itinerary that accomplishes all of those things and prices out at around $3600 for all of us (GREAT DEAL)! The only hiccup is that we're currently waitlisted on the Hong Kong flight coming home and should find out tomorrow if we'll be able to get that flight. We'd greatly appreciate your prayers that, if this itinerary is God's plan for us, He'll work it out for us to get onto that last flight home. Either way, we're trusting Him to work all of these things out for what's best for our girls and are so thankful that He's taking care of us!

We should hear tomorrow about that flight so we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, we continue to Praise God for His faithfulness and His provision...even in the tiniest of details! We are so excited to go get our little girl and can hardly believe that in about 29 days, we'll be going to bring her home! Thank so much for all of your encouragement, prayers and celebration on our behalf! We are truly humbled and so incredibly thankful for all of you. And we are so thankful that our God takes care of our every need! We can't wait to see how He finishes this process!
