We are all settled in and ready for our kids! We are so excited to see them, and it is hard to believe tomorrow is the big day. We are staying in a hotel that is like a big house for adoptive families. There are currently three other families here adopting children. There is a wonderful support system, and we are excited that the kids will be surrounded with food they are used to, and everyone speaks Spanish here. We think this will be great for them during this time of transition. They have already asked about school and are excited to learn. We are looking at an English tutor for them, once they get settled in. We are very excited to do cooking classes with the kids and the chef here, and there are two parks within walking distance. The food is great here so we will definitely love the exercise! We took some pictures of the room and will post more tomorrow after we get our kids. Our kids will be presented to us at 11:30 tomorrow morning, which is currently central time zone. We would would love your prayers tomorrow as we go from a family of two to a family of five!!
I'll be thinking about you all morning tomorrow! Our presentation of Alton was on a Tuesday at 11:30 also. I can't wait to see pictures of all of you together:)
ReplyDeleteI am beyond excited for you. I know it will be tough to get to bed tonight. Although the waiting part of your journey will end at 11:29 tomorrow, a whole new amazing chapter will open for you as a family of 5! I have a huge smile on my face knowing what an amazing feeling it is to finally have your kids in front if you. Tomorrow will be beyond amazing. Enjoy every single second and journal every single detail. Te kids will love to read it as they get older.
