Here we go! Time to take flight!

Gods amazing grace and love have brought us to this moment! May 28th we will leave to start the new journey to meet our son! Very soon we will become a family of 4!!! God is good- all the time!

Friday we received to go ahead to purchase tickets. This means that our immigration I-800 will continue through the process smoothly and no additional information will be needed from us. Saturday and Sunday Tony started researching options for tickets and we found a wonderful organization- http://www.adoptionairfare.com/. They helped us find the best plan and price for our needs. It was nice to not have to stress about this part of the journey!

I also finished my last paid project that has helped fund our adoption! Thank you ALL for purchasing my crafts to support our adoption. Thank you to all those who supported us though prayer fundraisers, and donating to Promise686 matching grant. EVERY bit helped! Every penny mattered, EVERY prayer mattered, EVERY donation mattered, EVERY offer to help mattered! We love each of you!


So you might be wondering what happens next and when will we start posting pictures of this cute little boy!?!?!

• 1- General Itinerary

Leave Atlanta on May 28th arrive May 29th in our little boys country.
Head to the area we need to be in
Arrive at Foster home on May 31st for 1st of 7-9 days on in home bonding
Receive Temporary guardianship
We all will go to our apartment where we will stay the remainder of our trip
Toward the end of our trip we will head to the capital to finalize passport, visa, etc for our little guy.
Head home!
All of this will happen in 6-8 weeks. so we are not sure the exact dates each will happen,

• 2- Pictures and Country?

We have been told that the country we are adopting from works much like the U.S. as far as privacy of the child in foster care. We cannot post pictures of him until he is legally ours. We have also been encouraged to keep the country out of our posts as they also frown upon publicity on their country's process (this is a public blog and is searchable on the internet). So I PROMISE we will get pictures out there just not as fast as we'd like!

Please continue to pray for :

-our travel
-finalizing paper work
-our time in country
-transition for our boys
-the foster family
