I can't even explain all the emotions I have been trying to sort out since the news we received yesterday. Of course we are overjoyed, the feeling of thinking we are going to be a family of 6 (7 including John) in a few months is just wonderful! But I am also stressed about paperwork, overwhelmed with all the details and business of this time of year, and having a lot of anxiety about what to do with Aviela, Asher, and Azalia when we travel. My heart so badly wants to take them with us, I cant bare the thought of being apart from them for 2 weeks (in another country no less), but the financial reality of taking them seems unbearable. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I feel like I have 10 pots boiling, and only enough eyes for 2! Please pray that with all the extra "stuff" going on in our life right now, that we wont lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, and that we will take everything just a day at a time, piece by piece.
Last year I couldn't wait to turn 30, because that meant we were finally eligible to adopt from China, and by the time I turn 31 we could be holding our little man- my dream, our blessing, a gift from God!
I told Dan its time to put your roller skates on, because these next 10 weeks are going to fly by and there is a LOT to do!! We are going to be signing our acceptance letter tonight, and emailing it to the agency on Monday, From there they send it off to US immigration for approval.
Sorry this is such a short post tonight, I will try to keep you update on the next steps as they happen.

Ps... Does anyone have any tips of searching for flights? Best airlines? Is there a good time of day or week to check them? Frequent flier miles you arent going to use??
