43 Day's and counting!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!
The last few weeks have been so hard for this adopting mommy... but in the gracious and amazing way our heavenly Father works... our prayers have been answered!!!! On Friday 1/6/12 we received an email from CAN's telling us we have been cleared to travel and we are scheduled for the Feb 20-24th Family Bonding Trip to HAITI!!!! We are going to meet our girls!!!! We are just so overwhelmed it's really hard to put into words...
I have mutiple lists going already.. frantically searching for plane tickets... dreaming of meeting our girls for the first time... this is ~ AMAZING!
We will have two appointment on our first trip as well. One to the Haitian Court where we will simply sign a "notebook"...(have no idea what this is really about, just know it's a step we must do) The second will be to the US Embassy where we will be "sworn in" and under oath answer questions... again... no idea what this really means or what it's for... but we'll just do what they say we must do to get to our goal of bringing our two beautiful daughters home! We do not know after this trip how long it will be for everything to be finalized... God knows though and we rest in that!
We will get to meet other families that are adopting from the same orphanage and we are so excited for that... to meet their children and being forming life long friendships with families going through EXACTLY what we are going through. I love how God brings people into your life ... for such a time as this!
Our prayer request is for the provision to pay for the trip and next adoption payments as well as for our hearts... it's hard not to think of the day we have to leave Haiti and come home without our girls this time... I can't imagine what that will be like... but we choose to rejoice... God has a plan and He is unfolding it before our eyes.... He is our comfort and our strength... He is our provider!
