After 3 days of great frustration, we have an appointment with the American Consulate in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. But it was very late in the afternoon and I knew I needed to get tickets booked ASAP. I spent the night looking and figuring the best way to fly, as I had no communication from the 2 travel agents that sent me fight suggestions and prices. I went to a meeting at church Saturday morning trusting that I will receive a email very soon. Sure enough 3 hours later I have plane tickets!! We chose to go out of LAX because it is cheaper by $800.
We will leave on August 23 and go into Beijing first. We will visit the Harmony House foster home to see the beautiful children there and a few other places. Then on to Chongqing on Sunday August 26th with tentative gotcha day of August 27th for our daughter, Kylie Gail Xiewen. A week in Chongqing then onto Guangzhou with gotcha day of September 2 for our son, Robert Tianyang. We are there for nearly 2 weeks with flight home on September 15th with arrival to LAX at 3:00 pm
We are getting excited. I have been planning as we have gone along, so things are coming together. I am so grateful that I started ahead of time as it seems like the final phase has happened very quickly. I Hope to be done and ready to go by tomorrow night. then can spend the last couple of nights doing my continuing education reading before I go.
