The Christmas MIRACLE!!! (Esty's Announcement)

Wonder of all wonders...

Yes!!! It's really true!!!
I woke up this morning to a text from our social worker: CHECK YOUR EMAIL!!!
When I did it told me the most amazing news:
WE HAVE A CONFIRMED CONSULATE APPOINTMENT!!! 
And it's in JANUARY!!!!!
We are beside ourselves with joy!!!
Esty, we will be with you in exactly 16 days!!!!
EEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Now seriously, this means that our social worker from Lifeline and the travel team HAD to work on either Christmas Eve or Day when they were CLOSED!!!)
(People who keep asking me for advice on which agency to use for adoption...LIFELINE CHILDREN'S SERVICES!!!!!!! We were encouraged to use them by multiple families who have done LOTS of adopting and had experience with multiple agencies. This is our 2nd time with them and I am VERY VERY PLEASED with them and can only say positive things!!!)
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!
