Is it real?

The other night as we were going to bed, it finally hit me...we're going to Africa!!!!  What will it look like when we land at the Ethiopian airport, what will the smells be or the view as we drive to the orphanage that first time?  We just received the dates we will be traveling and have all the Grandparents involved in watching the kiddos while we take this first trip.  Even though only one trip was required when we began this process, we are taking a positive approach knowing our experience will help the girls when they come with us on the second trip.  We haven't booked our airline tickets yet because we've heard that court dates change frequently.  When I start to get anxious about it all, I'm reminded to wholly surrender to God.  We have seen His miracles all along our adoption journey and are so thankful.
