I guess it's always true! Things have to get worse before they get better! Haven't we learned that lesson well!
But at what point you allow yourself to think that you are around the bent and that things are looking up?
We just got an e-mail from our agency which knocked me off my feet for a few minutes:
"As indicated in our Travel Guide, families do not travel to China during the National Holiday: October 1-7 and the Guangzhou Trade Fair: October 15 – October 31. Provincial closures and closures at the CCAA make this a very difficult time for families to travel to China. "
Travel dates are usually 4 to 6 weeks after referral. With a late August referral we expected to travel in the middle of October (coming back just in time for Annalisa's first Halloween).
The above message pretty much said that unless a miracle happens and that the CCAA sends out referrals in the middle of August (Yeah! Right! And cows will start flying soon!) we won't travel until the beginning of November.
I know in my heart that it's only a couple more weeks but ... I am drained and I'm just ready to crawl into bed and sleep for the next couple of months!
Wake me up when is time to get on that plane to China please!

You know what, we know exactly what you two are going through. Even though we have 4-5 months left it is hurry up and wait. You rush, rush, rush to get all the paperwork done then what. We have really been trying to keep EXTREMELY busy the past few months, traveling, working (to pay for this adoption and all the traveling we have been doing) and the closer it gets the further away it seems. Hang in there you'll make it.
