I doubt that I'll blog tomorrow, so I'm covering this base now.
We leave for China in less than 36 hours. And guestimating that we're going to sleep in the next 2 hrs... its like almost less than 24 hours. Whoa.
Who ever thought this day would really come??? I was thinking the other day that we were so lucky to meet our son in September and be able to anticipate him coming so soon! We were so lucky to recieve our LOA on December 29 and according to everything we'd been told it was at the most going to be 14 weeks from LOA. That's 3.5 months.
We're picking up our son nearly 5 months after our LOA. Whoa. No wonder it feels like forever! Normal time to travel isn't so long but Chinese New Year and another holiday in our province slowed down our processing times for major documents. And then a change in our agencies schedules pushed us back 4 more weeks. It has been nearly 8 months since we first saw our sweet boy's face!
8 months! That's like a whole pregnancy, and to think that we officially started this process 6 months before that! And first began pursuing adoption 5 months before that... for those of you that have been waiting with us - this is it.
Our bags are packed. We have double/triple and tomorrow we will quadruple check everything. And then we're off. Leaving on a really big plane for a really long flight to a really big country we have never been to, to pick up and love on a little boy we have been dreaming about for months.
I want to think that I will blog, but lets face it - I probably won't.
So for tonight and the next few weeks, possibly months - bye!!
Pray for us, so many things - any and all that you can think of, pray that for us because wow - big trip, we need lots of prayers!!
Love you all and Thank you for your love and support!!!
