Hard to believe less than a week until we get our E! I have been shopping, packing, and more shopping. There is so much to do my list making has gone in OCD overdrive. But the good news is I have an experienced international traveling friend coming over to reign me in from over-packing either tomorrow or Monday. (love ya, D!)
We had our online conference call with our adoption agency today. I have to say CCAI has been fantastic. So glad we chose them to help us with this journey.
It is hard for me not to get emotional, aka crying, when I think of E. Part of me hurts for her as I know this will be tough for her. She will be taken away from everything she knows, sights, sounds, smells, people, and places. Yes, she is only 2 yrs old, but old enough to distinguish that we are white people who smell, talk, and look different from her world. My prayer is that God opens her heart to us easily and quickly. The other part cries out of sheer joy because she is our second child, whom we have prayed about for so long, and we are her second chance at a family. So cheers to seconds!
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27
