We are checked in, packed, and ready to go. It's 11pm the night before we leave to go pick up Leo, our son. This is happening! There is a deep contentment in me tonight rather than excitement or nervousness. It's pretty cool to feel so good about all this.
We texted with Leo's foster family this morning and were lifted with their kind words. They told us that Leo is excited and they are ready and waiting for us.
This journey began when we saw our son's face and decided to move forward with adopting him. We weren't thinking about adopting at the time, but we felt so deeply connected to him. It was unmistakable that he was supposed to be our kid.
That was January 28, 2015. Now, 16 months later, we are finally going to bring him home!
