Delayed Travel Dates

I was really surprised earlier this month when we were told that travel would happen in early September.  So it is no surprise that it won't be then.  Beijing Civil Affairs is not making any appointments until September 20 and the earliest appointment would be September 22.  Since everything closes for the national holiday from September 29 through October 5, we won't be traveling until at least October 6.  That is better in many ways for LB and I but it means that our son will be living in an orphanage that much longer.
