Today the real adventure begins.
It has been a frenzied 24 hours, but we are as ready as we will ever be. Please keep us in your thoughts, prayers and meditations during our journey.
~ May we stay safe and healthy.
~ May our child stay safe and healthy.
~ May we find the right child for our family.
~ May the legal process be swift and smooth.
~ May we fully embrace this exciting experience and find strength during its challenges.
~ May we lean on each other in times of uncertainty.
~ May we represent Americans and adoptive parents in their best light.
Thanks for everything. See you on the flip side!

Wishing you safe travels!!! We will be sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
Holly and Dean
Prayers and lots of good wishes coming your way from me!!!
You have the right attitude, and such strength of heart and character.
We will all be with you, via cyberspace. :)
I will miss stalking while in Saint Augustine with millions of 4th graders, with no beer, no tank tops, and no fit flops.
Hugs to you and best wishes for a safe journey.

In my meditations, it is!
Bring back da bebe!!
May the rest of the process be as easy as your fairy godmother waving her wand to declare "poof! you are parents!"
Best of luck and everything else!
Safe travels and we can't wait to hear all the details :)
Suzette
Amen! You'll definitely be in my thoughts and prayers, and bookmarked and short-cutted and all other ways stalked for the next couple of months.
Have faith that all will go well and Habibi will have a forever family very soon.
Safe travels,
Alysa
If anyone is prepared, it is you and Frank. Be well, be strong, take time for yourselves in a frenzied process, and live the love that you so embody. We wish you all our love and peace.
Cindy, Matt and Astrid
WOOHOO!!! You bet we'll hold you in our prayers. We'll be checking your blog CONSTANTLY. We feel like you are family, in a way, and we are so attached to your outcomes! We hope it all goes SO well and travel safely! WE SEND OUR LOVE!!!
Can't wait to read your blog early next week and meet little Habibi! If you haven't left already, I imagine you'll be leaving for the airport soon, the first actual pushes of labor :)
Safe travels...
Lisa Masse
Definitely keeping you both in my prayers. I hope your flights are uneventful, you arrive safely and are able to have peace in all decisions you need to make.
Kim
It has been quite the journey, and while I realize you are not yet there, just know that your family (and friends, of course) are with you in spirit taking you the rest of the way. Just take it one day at a time. It's your heart that will guide you. The rest will fall into place. You two are so well prepared for this, more so than you realize. Parenthood may not be for everyone, but it's definitely for the two of you, and I couldn't be happier that you've chosen to enlarge our family in such a special way. I cannot wait to embrace my new niece or nephew. Travel safely, give the first, second, or third hug, perhaps, from Aunt Karla and the West Ashley Crazies, and come home soon. We miss you already.
XOXOXO
Love, KK
Safe and happy travels! Cant wait to hear!!!
A safe and happy journey to you! Will be thinking of you much! Now, it's my time to blog stalk daily as I did for Catalina, waiting for the first glimpse of Habibi. A SAFE AND LIFE CHANGING TRIP is on it's way. You are on the plane, girl!
Steph

Ciao for now...Eileen
Bon Voyage! We anxiously await news of your arrival and so much more.

More than you can imagine awaits you at the other end. To say that it is life changing belittles the true nature of the transformation. Welcome to parenthood. Safe Travels. Take Care.
