Today we received our itinerary/plane tickets in the mail from our travel agent (whom I would highly recommend to anyone adopting internationally)! We are really pleased with our flight schedule. We will fly from Omaha to Chicago, Chicago to D.C., and D.C. to Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia) with a short re-fueling stop in Rome (no one gets off the plane). And we arrive there the evening of July 25. We'll have two days to spend with soon-to-be-baby-LeFeber before our court appointment on July 28, another day or two to get to know our little guy, and then we fly home the night of July 30. We are incredibly excited!!! 25 days 'til we hold him in our arms for the first time! :)
Tomorrow, July 2, is our baby boy's birth family's court appointment in Addis Ababa, where they will formally relinquish him as I understand it. My heart is aching for them tonight. And I am praying His PEACE for our little guy's father and older siblings.
I told Nathan tonight just how ready I am to be a Mama to 3. I know without a doubt that our little one is OURS, and absolutely meant to be a part of our family. It definitely feels like someone is missing around here. :) But, hopefully and prayerfully, he will soon be home.
May God be glorified in the life of this little one!
Where does the time go??
