The end is in sight! We are finally nearing the end stages of this adoption journey. Of course...it's really only just beginning as we are soon to meet Roy!
We sent in our LOA, got approved & now moving right along. Our next big thing is "article 5 pick up" in China on Sept 23rd. After that...we wait for the one & only "TRAVEL APPROVAL"! This is when we can get our consulate appointment scheduled & flights/hotels booked. WE.CANT.WAIT!!!!
I have been nesting..nesting..nesting! I'm on a cleaning rampage! Our junk drawer has been cleaned out for the first time in years! haha. Refrigerator is immaculate! Roy's dresser drawers have been organized & reorganized & reorganized! :-)
Diapers bought - CHECK
Boy toys bought - CHECK
Clothing bought - CHECK
Toddler Snacks bought - CHECK
WE ARE READY!!!
Please keep us in your prayers, but ESPECIALLY ROY as his little world is about to be turned upside down. The only "normal" that he has ever known will be no longer and he has no idea it's about to happen. My heart hurts so badly for him. I wish he didn't have to go through this part. I know this is ultimately the best for him. But, he will not understand it at all.
Approximately about one week before we meet him, he will be returned to the orphanage. Thrust into a room of 30+ toddlers. He will be in a new room, with kids he doesn't know, alone. Crying for his foster parents most likely. Wondering what happened to them and why he is here. Honestly, I cant hardly handle thinking of this. My poor sweet boy. So please...PLEASE pray for Him.
Sincerely,
An Anxious Mama
