...starts when you take your first step. When Kristen and I first committed this whole adoption idea to the Lord in February of '08 we knew it would be a long road. While we were in the midst of it, it seemed as though we were waiting forever for some of the pieces to fall into place... waiting for a placement... waiting for more pictures... waiting for a court date... waiting for travel dates. But now that we have our travel dates and will be leaving soon to pick up Fasika, it all feels like it's gone by so fast... and now we're scrambling to get everything ready to go. I thank God that I'm married to a VERY organized woman who has all the legal stuff in order and checklists of what we need. If keeping track of all the details were up to me, this wouldn't be happening.
We just arrived home from a wonderful baby shower that some dear friends put together for us... lots of cute stuff for our new baby girl! :) These are people who have gone along on this journey with us in their prayers and support. It was neat to reflect back on how God has worked all of this out and has been so faithful to provide us with the means and the mind to do this.
We (and the kids) are so glad that we took that first step of faith. We would have missed out on so much! And there's so much more to go!
