A month ago we boarded a plane naive to what one week could do to our hearts and lives! On November 9th we began our journey to Ethiopia. A month later we are at home and trying to get "back to normal" while wondering what exactly normal is! Is it "normal" to have a child who is legally yours live on another continent? The "is it normal" list could go on and on, but I will spare you the pitiful details :)
A month from now... IF God chooses, we could (major miracle needed) be on a plane back to Ethiopia to reunite with our sweet son, meet with the Embassy, and BRING HIM HOME!!!
Yes, the chance might be slim, but we are "Faith Like Potatoes" people, right? Please join me in praying that every step between court and embassy would be happening as efficiently as possible! Please also pray that our sweet M could stay in his current room as long as possible. While we feel so blessed by the care at "L" we are begging God to allow M to stay in the room he currently is until we return. His nannies are so wonderful, and if he moves he would meet another whole nanny team, have his little routine changed and so much more. This would be a lot to handle one month before coming home to MAJOR changes!
Much more to come on attachment, but if you want to start praying for that it would be great! Our son is very social and we are quite aware that he believes EVERY traveling family is his mom and dad! It will take major cocooning to show him that we are not "some of many" but his actual parents. Please pray that we will transition and attach well, and that those around us will understand the measures we will go to, to provide the best environment for attachment possible!
We know that our son is a gift for us to hold, love, nurture, point to Jesus and much more, but that we must hold him with open hands before the One who sustains his little life and mine, our God and King!
