Nothing...

We have been waiting 63 days and still nothing! It has really been quiet around the rumor queen website for anyone waiting on a Travel Approval who is I800. We have seen some approvals trickle in, but they have been I600 (the old system where people travel much quicker)

All our paperwork is approved, immigration has been cleared....we are just waiting...
and waiting....and waiting!!! We have to know by next wednesday in order to travel on Aug 7th. I would say at this point it isnt looking very likely for us.

Evidently the rumors are that pretty much everyone who needs to sign or mail our TA is out sick. I have been researching travel arrangements, but flights are disappearing for the dates that we want to travel. I am sure that Consulate appointments are going to be hard to come by as well soon.

Today I am just frusturated.. I know that it is Gods timing, and His timing is perfect, but selfishly I want to be there for my sons birthday. I dont want to wait anymore. I want to love on Sammy, hug him and settle into our life as a family of 6. I am tired of the whole adoption process, I am tired of not knowing, and not being able to plan. I am tired of worrying about it all. I am tired of sitting on Rumor Queen and hitting "refresh" Or checking my email constantly. I am especially weary of jumping everytime my cell phone rings! I am tired of trying to figure out how we are going to come up with the last sums of money and who is going to take care of the kids, and the pets for that matter.

I am just so stinkin tired of it, just so weary of it all....I know that we have trusted God during this whole journey. He has paved every step of our way, and I know that He will continue to do so. Today I am just simply very very tired....

Thanks for listening to me whine....

Keep the faith... I am praying for you in these difficult days. Believe me, I know how you feel. The last month before we traveled was, by far, the absolute hardest on our family! I know that you this, but...all of the waiting will soon be a distant memory.
Praying for many blessings for you, Rebecca

Amy,

Please know that you are in my prayers. I think that the wait between LOA and TA is THE hardest. Hang in there, it will come when it is supposed to.
