We are not having a good experience in making flight arrangements. I have received a couple of proposed itineraries but they aren't for the right days or have extremely long layovers or multiple connecting flights which would require claiming and rechecking baggage (this is both coming and going). I am frustrated, but I know God is going to work this out soon.
Also, we are under a lot of pressure to go ahead and purchase the less than desirable tickets and we don't know for sure yet that we will be traveling at the end of October. I have explained over and over again that our agency is very specific in their directions NOT to buy tickets until we know that our court date is successful. I've gotten a few names of other agencies who may be able to help me more than the one I am using right now, so maybe tomorrow will yield better results.
This morning, I woke-up at 3:00 with a horrible rolling stomach and I knew it was my nerves. I'm extremely busy at work right now and am trying to get things wrapped-up so I can take some bonding time with Baby Girl and my head is spinning. I've done really well with handling things the last couple of months but I guess it all caught-up with me early this morning. I spent the next 2 hours in heavy duty prayer asking God to forgive me for worrying and to help me relinquish control to Him. I did go back to sleep and although the day brought more frustrations with a travel agent, I'm okay and not sick or flipping-out. My God is bigger than an airplane and He will get us to our baby one way or another!

Erica,
What an exciting step of faith to take!!!
What a journey indeed you have had, and yet I declare with you God's love and grace and faithfulness in all we face. He has been and will be with you every step of the way.
Praying for you and Baby Girl and your family (most consistantly between 11 and 11:30 AM Pacific time.)
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
Woo hoo! You're so close! And yes, that sweet girl will be in your arms. She is soooo precious. It doesn't seem fair that I got to see her before you, but I am honored that I did get to see and hold her. Can't wait until you have her with you!!!

Erica,
I am praying with and for you over the details of the travel itinerary.
I can't imagine how complex the planning needs to be. It is a challenge for me sometimes to figure out how to just get from Portland OR to Anchorage AK let alone international travel to bring home a baby.
Praying also that God would flood you with His amazing peace.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
Oh I know all those feelings! Hang in there. Have you used Kathy Carver at Susan Parr? We had a wonderful experience with her!
Counting down the days until we hear the good news!
