Wow! As the time nears, the thought of being on a plane for 25 hrs traveling to South Korea is a little overwhelming. We are excited to go to Korea to meet our new child and experience their culture...but as we are on this plane flying to Boston all I can think about is "I've been in the air for a total of about 4 hours today and am ready to be there". Its funny, I can see our son right now....ARE WE THERE YET, ARE WE THERE YET? haha. But as I sit here knowing that in about 18 months we will be on a plane heading to Korea with one flight consisting of 15 hrs of non-stop flying, well....to say the least, I'm getting nervous! We will be bringing home a child that has never been on an airplane (or possibly never been in an automobile for that matter), has possibly never seen a white family before, speaks another language and has never heard the English language. We have been told that we will literally pick up our child from the orphanage and head straight to the airport. They do not release the child into our custody until we are set to leave for the United States. So with a child that I'm sure will be scared to death to be leaving with absolute strangers, we will literally embark on a journey across the world. So, if we are the parents with the child that's screaming the whole flight, or are the ones blasting cartoons on their Ipad, or are the ones walking the aisles rocking a baby and hitting you in your arm every time we go by.....please give us a Break! (or a free beer) LOL! We will need lots of prayers for this part of the journey!

ReplyDeleteThank you! We greatly appreciate the compliment! I would not say that "we" are not amazing...I would definitely put the emphasis on God being amazing because we definitely would not be doing this if it weren't for Him. :) Thank you for sharing our journey with us! It means a lot to us to have so much encouragement and support!
