Tentative Itinerary

On Cosette's birthday we went to First Chinese, her favorite local restaurant to celebrate with friends. At the end of the meal, as is our tradition, we each opened and read the message in our fortune cookie. When my turn came I read “Three months from this date great things will happen.” There was some silence and finally John said, “oh, I guess we could be in China”. We all shrugged it off, trying not to dream. Well, today we received our tentative itinerary for our trip to China and three months after that birthday dinner is Sept 9, Daniel’s tentative adoption day!

I should emphasize the word tentative. We have NOT received travel clearance from China yet, and everything is dependent on travel clearance, but here’s the hopeful plan:

• Sept. 7 (Sun)---Arrive in Shenyang and stay at Trader’s Hotel.
• Sept. 24 (Wed)---Depart for home.

So, if this schedule remains true we will meet our son in 39 days!
