Skype high and a low blow

On August 19th at 1am we skyped with Simran Neena! It was amazing! The first spoken conversation between our daughter and her family. And it felt like I knew her. It felt like "why aren't you here?". 
She is so beautiful y'all! 
She had a little sparkly headband in her hair and a shirt will ruffled sleeves. She sang us songs, and they said she loves to sing and dance! She sang twinkle twinkle little star and abcs and a few hindi songs. Her voice is raspy and sweet. And wow, is she smart! She already knows her abcs, how to count to 10, days of the week, and months of the year and all that in her second language, English!!!! 
She blew us kisses over and over! 
She asked when we were coming ? And she said to come soon! 
She told us she missed us and that when we come to india "we will enjoy together"!! 
Of course, after the Skype call I couldn't sleep for the next few hours. We emailed the orphanage to see when travel would be likely in their opinion. And that's when we got the low blow.....mid November was their answer.
Then all the wind got sucked out of me!
 3 more months?? What happened to 4 weeks? And I just thought...I can't.....I can't believe November....I won't accept November. 
Her birthday is in October and last year I told her it was her last birthday without her family. I just can't do November!!!! 
 I know it is soooo close! But this momma's heart aches each day that goes by without her in my arms. She is a missing piece to our family puzzle. And it seems the closer it gets, the harder the waiting. 
So I'm drawing a circle around September!!! 
I'm Praying that September is Gods perfect time to bring us together. 
Jesus said that Our Heavenly Father is good and that if we ask for bread, he won't give us a stone. I will ask for September, that will be the bread. I will trust in Gods perfect timing but I will still ask for bread!!! And I will also plan another Skype date very soon!
Be expecting an update in September about traveling to India!!! 
God is so good!
