Official - May 12th

We received our American Consulate appointment today and we will be leaving on either May 11th or May 12th.  The departure date will depend on when the flight comes in on the 13th (you arrive a day later).  If it comes in late afternoon or evening, we may opt to leave on the 11th, so we don't miss our tour in case of missed connections, flight issues, etc.  Right now we are waiting to hear back from two different travel agencies about our international flight.  One agency is out of WA and works very closely with our agency.  The other agency is out of NC and comes very highly recommended and works a lot with international adoptions.  They have our travel schedule and we're just waiting to hear back on prices and schedules.  We fly to Adriana's province on the 15th and will unite with Adriana either on that day or the 16th.  We did find out that we will not be able to visit her orphanage.  Jiangxi is one of a few provinces that do not allow visits to the orphanages.  She will either be brought to our hotel room or we will go to the civil affairs office to meet her.  We'll keep you posted.
