Adoption Update: Homecoming Trip (Here we go!)

Aug 14, 2016 By Layla

“It was exciting to be off on a journey she had looked forward to for months. Oddly, the billowing diesel fumes of the airport did not smell like suffocating effluence, it assumed a peculiar pungent scent that morning, like the beginning of a new adventure, if an adventure could exude a fragrance.”
-E.A. Bucchianeri

    I remember the anticipation with our Ethiopian adoption. Best Ever! Safe travels and transitions when you get back home. My little guy was almost 3 and pretty overwhelmed by everything. He came around though with patience and time and is living the dream!

    Is it weird to sob tears of joy for someone I’ve never met? Well- I am… full on massive tears of joy. So happy for you. oh my gawsh!!!!!!! So EXCITING!!!! Safe travels- PARTY OF THREE!!!! (well- ok- wishing you safe travels for party of 2 getting there) but PARTY OF THREE COMING BACK!!!! WHOOOHOOOOO…. such joy, blessings and the unknown. I bid you safe travels. <3 God's will is truly a gift. Now to go blow my nose from all these tears of joy. lol

      Ohhhhh totally not weird. These last couple of weeks with all of this exciting news happening, I’ve had to force myself to only read updates at night when I’m in bed, because bawling your eyes out at work when your boss walks in, and then trying to explain your crying “no, no…everything’s find, you see…this blog that I follow, well they’re the sweetest people, well i don’t know them exactly, but they seem like the sweetest people in the world, and yeah, they’re adopting a son, and they bought their plane tickets…….” —-it gets awkward. hahhaaha

    So wonderful!! Praying for Sweet P’s Three Angels family as they say goodbye and for the THREE of you as your little guy comes home. I’m certain that he will be showered with “homecoming” gifts by your families, so I would love to do a little something for Three Angels in Steevenson’s honor. Would a monetary gift be the best or is there something that could be sent there? It’s been a blessing to follow your journey, even though we’ve never met.
