Okay the wait is not quite over but we got an email today with the great news that we will be traveling the week of May 4th to get Greyson in Ethiopia!!!! Yippee!!!! It is all so surreal. The fact that there will be a little boy in our house or a new little person at all is so crazy and so exciting all at the same time.
My mind keeps racing back and forth from one thought to the next:
"How do I get three kids in the car"
"What do I do with a BOY???"
"What if he doesn't like me?"
"What if the girls freak out and don't like him"
" What if he gets sick when he gets home or a big worm comes out his nose"
"what if this blissful happy feeling I have just gets even better once I see him and hold him"
That is only the tip of the iceberg on all of my crazy thoughts. I am trying to figure out what to say to his mom when I meet her. What do you say to someone who gave up their baby because she literally had no means to take care of him. Do you say thank you? Do you say I will do my best to raise your son? Words seem so small in how BIG that whole conversation will be and how much I want to just say what a blessing it is that she has entrusted me with this beautiful little boy.
I need to let God take care of the what ifs and the fears and everything will be what He wants it to be.
Did I say how excited i was????
