Just Do It!

This is a very exciting day for our family, as months of preparation and waiting come to an end, and the actual adoption trip comes to a start. Today we'll tie up the loose ends on travel details for our trip, and the homestead is all set for while we're away. Finishing the last of the packing, carry on bags for the lengthy flight overseas, making sure we've got all the wires for the electronics, etc. Tomorrow we'll climb into the plane for the 6,092 mile journey to the other side of the world. I've wondered so many times about the first time we'll see the kids at the orphanage and what that will be like. Now it's a week or less away from reality. Truly praying for God's protection and grace, for a smooth adoption process, for things to move along well and timely, so we can bring our new family members home as soon as possible.
