We have a DATE!

4 years ago today I was given a log in date from the Chinese Consulate.  This log in date was so important because it is what grandfathered me in and allowed me to move forward in the process to adopt Lucy.  There was a point in our journey that I was not sure if I would be able to move forward and adopt from China because China was no longer allowing single women/men to adopt.  This log in date was one of the many miracles that occurred to bring us together.  4 years later, (today), I received my travel date!  We are leaving on March 17th and heading to China to pick up Lucy! I am over the moon.  We will be there for several weeks completing paperwork, medical examinations and exploring her homeland.  Unfortunately, the news came that I will not be able to visit her orphanage or foster family.  I am holding onto the hope that once we get there that maybe there is one more miracle waiting for us in the wings.
