Two Kenney boys and now a girl!!!: Bump in the road...

I know you want to scroll to the pictures, but we have some important news first. What was supposed to be a routine last day in Guangzhou, has turned out to be quite stressful. It appears that this chicken pox thing is a very big deal. We were called to a meeting this afternoon with representatives from the US Consulate (they issue the babies' visas). We (along with another adoption group called Holt) may not be able to leave on time. The CDC is reviewing all information, but right now the children who were exposed to the 2 kids with the chicken pox cannot leave the country. The consulate people did not have the information about our children being vaccinated and cleared twice at the clinic. They did not have our dates of exposure and other information. The consulate is supposed to relay that information to the CDC right away. All we can do now is wait. It appears that one parent may be able to leave on time. That will be Chris, if it comes down to it. We are all very nervous and upset right now. Some of the parents in our group are looking into chartering a plane to get us out of here, because the concern is that our children will be on a commercial flight with lots of other people. We just don't know anything right now but it is highly likely that we will not be coming home on Friday. I hate it - but it is out of our hands. Please pray that the CDC reviews this new information and gives us permission to leave soon. Tensions are high but we are trying to keep a positive attitude. At the very least, I hope that Chris can make it out as scheduled. I will post new information as we get it.
