Try again and then again!!! We just sent out our Adoption Photo Album again. This time I sent it Global Express, by itself with a translated letter to Jordan. I also used the new address so I am hoping beyond all hope that Jordan will get our information by October 27th, as the USPS promises. It is trackable so maybe that will help too :) I was thinking how fortunate we are to live in a country that ensures things like mail delivery. I was talking to Mickey, our kids MiMi who lives across the street, about how amazing it is that I can drop a letter in a box up here at 3 or 4 pm and it can be an hour South the very next morning. It has to be picked up out of the big blue box, sorted, sent down to that post office, sorted again and then delivered. Really the USPS does not get enough credit for this service. Now we have China where I have been told that packages or letters put in the mail Monday or Tuesday could be delivered at the same time as something just submitted on Friday. There is not predictability nor commitments. You are not assured that the package will find its way to the correct owner, you are just to be thankful that the service is provided. How would Americans take these less than structured services? I do have to say that standing 14th in a 40 minute line with my daughter, while the 5 postal service stations were only occupied by 2 Postal Personnel was a bit challenging. As I have said before my patience has been tried so much these days... but I do appreciate the States every day I am dealing with P.R. China.
As the week is quickly diminishing I am still keeping the faith that the "National Holiday Buzz" wears off and business starts to flow again. We really need our 2nd Acceptance Letter to come through this week so our Travel Notice can be processed. Hey, if we get it in the Chinese mail by Friday we should have it at CCAA on Monday :) See there are perks to a quirky system!
