Travel Meeting

We just got back from a meeting at the adoption agency where they try to prepare us for our upcoming trip to go pick up Ben.

We aren't officially any closer to actually leaving, but we are officially (albeit tentatively) scheduled as part of the next group to leave. We got a chance to meet some of the other couples we will likely be traveling with. Everyone was very nice, if a little nervous. The room was filled with a hopefulness and restless anticipation that you could cut with a knife (much of which emanated from our general direction).

So, no new news. We still don't know when we'll be leaving. The agency couldn't guarantee that we'll be leaving before Christmas, but if all goes well, we'll be on the next plane. We haven't actually crossed any new hurdles, but we feel like we can at least see the last few hurdles in the distance.
