The countdown...
Seven days.
We will be leaving in SEVEN DAYS!!!!
We will be meeting our sweet Toby on Thanksgiving Day!
After only 4 1/2 months - which is quick by adoption standards but feels like an eternity when your mama's heart just wants to hold your boy - we got the phone call that we have our first appointment!
It came a lot sooner than we were expecting, so we are in a bit of a time crunch. You see...we are moving to a new house on the 20th and will have one day in our new home before having to make our big trek to Europe! But we don't care...we will make it work....we get to see our boy on Thanksgiving!!!!!!
We cherish your prayers for our family during this period of massive transition! We will do our best to keep the blog updated as we travel and meet our new son, but we may be restricted in what information/photos we can share until after we pass court, so please be understanding and patient!
Our specific prayer requests:
- Safety during our travel and peace for our three very busy little boys during such long flights!
- No delays so that we make it to our first appointment on time
- For Toby's heart to be ready to be filled with love by his new family!
- For our boys to be allowed to come to the orphanage with us for visits. On our first day, we have arranged for someone to stay with the boys in our apartment while Josh and I meet Toby for the first time. For those of you who know my boys, this will NOT be easy. Foreign country, new apartment, new face babysitting them, parents leaving - they are not going to like it. Please pray for peace for them!
- For a speedy process! Josh can only miss two shifts of work, so he will need to return after two weeks or so. Please pray that our court date would fall during the time he has off so that he does not need to make more than one trip! The judge could also decide to waive the 10-day wait period, which would be fantastic! We could be home by Christmas!
- For additional funds. Because we are flying right during the holidays, we are a little short on funds for our airfare. We will be able to continue to receive donations to our Reece's Rainbow fund. If you have waited to give or feel led to do so now, please donate to our Family Sponsorship Page
Thank you so much! We look forward to sharing our journey with you!
