It was all so exciting the last two weeks as we raced around town getting our paperwork together. Gathering doctor's notes, criminal clearances, employment verification, letters of recommendation, tax returns, birth certificates, marriage record... the list goes on! So much to do! It was a thrilling whirlwind of activity! And now the paperwork has been submitted and we wait...
It would be laughable, though, for us to complain about the wait! I mean, like seriously, laugh out loud, roll on the floor, hysterically ridiculous of us. There are so many people who have been sitting in international adoption limbo for YEARS! People have spent thousands of dollars, poured their heart into an unpredictable process, dotted all of their "I"s and crossed all of their "T"s and they continue to wait to bring their long-awaited children home. Yet, we find ourselves getting impatient after one week, how silly is that? It is just so hard to look at Samuel's sweet little face and not want him in our arms RIGHT NOW.
When it does come time for us to bring him home, it has been decided that Nate will be the one to travel and I will stay home with the kids. Nate is much more up to this adventurous trip and I am....not. I am very thankful to have a husband who is willing to travel half way around the world with a baby all by himself! He is amazing!
We are gearing up to send our first payment to the orphanage on Wednesday. We continue to trust God to provide the finances. My God is a big God, a really big God and that's all I need to know right now.
