I have some bad news. Last Friday we were told that even if our travel approval arrived soon, we still would not be able to travel to China to get Nathan because there are no appointments open at the American Consulate in China until November. What this means is we cannot go get Nathan until November.
This was a terrible blow to us and we were bitterly disappointed but we are trying not to let ourselves stay down about it. We will never get back those two months of Nathan's life that he will spend without us but we know that when we get him, it will cease to matter.
The one thing we will find the most helpful is finally having a time frame. The not knowing is one of the hardest things to endure -- harder than waiting. Our agency is positive November will work for us so that gives us a goal. In the meantime, we will work on projects that we didn't think we would finish before Nathan came home.

Julie, I am so sorry things didnt work out as planned. But you will get Nathan and then you will have the rest of your lives with him! We are still waiting for our LOI to be SENT, and with the increasing TA waits my dream of having our daughter home for xmas are pretty much out the window. I feel your pain, I truly do.
Julie,
I wish there was something I could say to make this better for you, but there are no words that are good enough. Time away from your son is too hard to bear and at this point, I'm sure November feels like a lifetime away. Just know that we are all thinking about you and pulling for you. Take good care of yourself sweet girl.

I am so sorry to hear that! You, your husband, and Nathan are in my prayers.
