Our agency was able to give us our definite travel dates today, after receiving confirmation of our appointment with the Chinese consulate! Our consulate date is 2/27, so we’ll be leaving for China on 2/13 and returning on 2/29. Because of the time difference, we’ll have a really LONG leap day! We will receive Lainey…known as Gotcha Day…the morning of 2/18!

We made our flight arrangments today and had our conference call with Josh and Lily this afternoon. Josh and Lily are the founders of our agency and they have a phone conference with every group of families that leaves for China to adopt. They are also available to us (they give us their cell phone numbers) 24hrs a day while we’re in China, should we need them. I think that is amazing…we have such a fantastic agency and have always felt so wonderfully taken care of.

When we have a more detailed itinerary, I’ll post it! 12 days to go…
