I finally got the flickr photo page up and going tonight. There are new pictures of the girls on there that we received last week! Julie (the Colombian director for Childrens Hope) surprised us last week when she mailed them to us. They are such good pictures! We love them and can't wait for January 21st at 11am when we meet them for the first time.
We will be flying out of KC on Monday January 19th to Bogota. On the 20th, we will catch a flight to Pereira and have at least part of a day to get situated.
We are feverishly trying to get the house in some kind of an order before we leave. Amazing how this adoption process works. You sit around for 3 years waiting, and then BANG you get pictures and your referral and it's non-stop craziness. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm definitely not complaining...... Craziness is good. I am enjoying every minute of preparing for the trip. The hard part is trying to wrap up all of the stuff at work so that I can take six weeks off. Christina's last day of employment will be January 16th. The people at her work are incredible! They have been so supportive of our adoption and have done so much to help us. I can't thank them enough. They even threw us a shower last night, and we got all kinds of good stuff for the girls: books, clothes, toys, games, etc. I hope the Lord blesses Munlake and the people who work there with much success throughout this year and the years to come.
I would also like to thank everyone who has helped us through this adoption process. We are ever so grateful, and look forward to paying it forward in the future. Because of the support of friends and family, we have been able to meet our goals financially so that we do not have to take out any loans for the adoption. That is a true blessing!
Please stay tuned and we will continue to update as things happen!
