Possible Delays

I am so upset. This morning I heard from our adoption agency that although they are receiving Consulate Appointments for others adopting from China, the orphanage over Tao's care has let them know that THEY want to decide when we come to pick him up. We're still hoping to be able to pick him up on November 10th but now we have to wait to hear from the orphanage before we can buy plane tickets. Apparently the orphanage actually pushed the last family out a week... if that happens John and Tao will just be getting home in time for Thanksgiving. We thought we may have about a week for them to get over jet-lag and still be able to make it to Thanksgiving in Oklahoma... WAITING... and I think my worst vice is lack of patience.
