Preparations

Okay, now that we know when our girls are coming home it is panic time. We are really working hard to get everything completed. Those of you who have adopted will totally understand my feelings. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!!!
We've been having phone conversations with our agency and the group of families we will be traveling with. We've also been busy filling out more paperwork so the girls can enter our country. Clothes shopping, school shopping and learning sign language have also been taking up our time. We've been setting up appointments with doctors and school directors, and working on switching insurance plans. Plus, trying to keep a 2 year old and a 10 month old out of trouble (and the refrigerator) has been extremely challenging this week.
Through all of the stress and craziness, we still feel blessed. We have four beautiful daughters and we will all be living in the same house on the same continent in approximately five weeks. It truly is a miracle.

Glorious Day!

We made it through court on the 4th of July. We got an email with the subject "are you awake and ready for THE call" and of course we were. We called our caseworker and she gave us the great news. We have two more daughters!!! Meseret and Senait found out that their adoptions were completed and they had a little party at the foster home. How cute. We will be leaving the USA to pick them up on August 16 (our 7 year anniversary.) We are so excited. There are a lot of things to do to get ready and we are trying to remain calm. There are some important decision that need to be made in the next couple of days . . . such as what are the middle names going to be and what day should their birthdays be.
We look forward to sharing more of our journey as we prepare to bring two more of our children into our home.
