Change in Plans

Well, we found on today that they weren't able to confirm our consulate appointment during the Jan 6 - Jan 22 trip - so our trip has been moved back one week.   Our now confirmed travel dates are Jan 13-Jan27th.   I have to admit that I am disappointed.  I know a week isn't that long, but when you have been waiting 3 years and we were only 10 days away - that week seems like forever.   I was encouraged by a friend of mine however that made me think of it in a different way.   She said maybe this was an answered prayer by Alex's caregiver for her to have one more week to say good-bye to our precious boy.  It's not so bad when I think of it like that (thanks Rox)!  On Jan 17th I will be holding "baby Alex" in my arms for the first time.
