Over

Adoption Journey — Day 579

So, I expect people have been coming in here today to see the Friday Fun. But there is no Friday Fun today.

Just this morning, we got the call. One year, 7 months, and 1 day after we started this journey — our daughter’s visa came in. The paper chase is OVER! We are able to travel to Ethiopia and bring our daughter home.

We spent much of the day getting travel arrangements made. We will be leaving as soon as humanly possible, which will be in early September.

I cannot believe we’ve made it.

I cannot believe that we will soon have our daughter home with us.

I cannot stop alternately crying and giggling like a crazy person.

I cannot believe how nervous I am.

I cannot believe we will finally be parents.

I cannot stop smiling.

This certainly is up there on our list of Best Days Ever.

So, no Friday Fun today… but I am sure you’ll understand.
