We're off to Ethiopia!
I can't believe that this time has finally come. This past week has been so so busy. We thankfully managed to get the baby's room complete, the bathroom reno is not quite so lucky but oh well. Our bags are packed, and the electronics are all currently charging.
We're going to meet our son! Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support throughout this entire process. We feel so loved by all of you! And thank you to all my adoption friends too! I will do my best to check in on your babes if I can. I'm praying for your court date D and for others who are waiting and waiting and waiting....
It's so strange, I almost forget that we are going to Africa tomorrow. I am so preoccupied with thinking about Moses that I forget that this lifelong dream is coming true. And then I realize that I have been so preoccupied with adopting that I have to switch my brain and focus over into motherhood now. I keep thinking that there is some other step in the process that I am waiting for. But there's not. Well, there's just a really really long plane ride and a lot of jet leg and then he will be in our arms.
Anyways, I have a guest blogger while we're gone... my good friend Dana will be trying to post a few updates on here while we're gone. So check back!
