Hard waiting

It has been an emotional week that could continue until we have our travel approval and CONFIRMED travel dates. Yes, I have been probably having my hopes too high, but was being realistic too by trying to be prepared. Last week we were waiting for confirmation that our papers from US consulate were issued on the 5th. Never got confirmation but our agency said they didn't hear anything was wrong, so it should have been issued on the 5th. At that point we were praying for a miracle to go on the 20th. Then found out from another family who is just ahead of us that we really want to travel with, that no one else could be added to the group on the 20th as there are no more consulate appts. So there was going to be another group on the 27th. Then we found out today that there isn't going to be any group on the 27th because of a holiday the following week in China. So now a group will go April 3rd. So today some tears fell. I know God is in control and His timing is perfect. My heart is just aching to go get our daughter, hold her and bring her home. Its just hard! Please pray for my emotions and that God will give me strength and that we will get our travel approval this week so that we can for sure go on the 3rd. I don't think I can take another delay! But April 3rd will be alomost exactly two years to the day that we left to go get Caleb in China, it was April 6th.
