Found out today that my Article 5 Notice was not issued this week! This is the last US based document before i can get my Travel Approval from China. It had been averaging 3 weeks, but I was just told it's taking 4 weeks now. The agency assured me that the TA is still coming in at 2 weeks and even earlier.... so to not lose hope.
Any other month i wouldn't care one way or another BUT December is the kids dance recital and i REALLY don't want to miss that. So far, I've missed out on the November travel date, there's a possibility now that i might not make the December 6th travel date which leaves the December 13th travel group. If it's the last one i would be gone the whole week before the recital and miss the kids performance. I'd rather delay travel to January if that's the case! But Jeff really wants me to travel in December so we can get that adoption tax credit for this year. Priorities. Little does he know i could care less about that!
So, in one scenario, i miss the kids' performance BUT I bring Dylan home in time for Christmas. On the other hand, i delay travel to January (damn it will be FREEZING in China!) i don't miss my wedding anniversary or the recital, but Dylan spends another few weeks without her family. and that stupid tax thing. Oh yeah, the flight costs drop significantly in January over December.. so maybe it won't be that bad
Honestly, i really don't know what to do. (sad face)
