So, the sleepless, restless nights wondering and thinking have begun for me (Brenda). I have a great book that I'm reading about international adoptions that was given to us by Grandma Pat, called "The Complete Book of International Adoption" by Dawn Davenport. (If you know someone who is adopting internationally please get this book info to them.) But since reading through this book it makes me think about the millions of details that we will be covering through this process. (Which will all be worth it!) Of course I started reading at the END first... the part about when we get to bring our son home and it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I had a dream, after reading this chapter, that we brought our son home and I wasn't use to having a son yet and when I woke up I couldn't find him. He wasn't in his room, he wasn't outside, he wasn't watching TV... so I frantically ran around the house and eventually I found him sitting in a closet because he didn't know where he was. I pray that this never happens and that our son will always know, when he walks through our doors, that he is HOME!!!Oh I have a feeling this is going to be a very irregular year of sleep... I guess it will be good preparation.

Oh, your maternal nature has already jumped into overdrive! The excitement, the dreams, the reading and preparing. . . You and Mark have soo many "children" already, only this one will come to you much, much younger than your other "children." You are two of the most wonderful people I know and I can't wait to love, tease, torment and spoil your son like you both have to our children! Can't wait to come see you and have you visit us after that! It's going to be a wonderful summer! I am praying for you and this process that everything will happen according to the complete and perfect WILL OF GOD!!!!!
God Bless you and your family!
