Home!

Well,  not home exactly but close. Clint got a flight back to Georgia today but Matt and I have to wait until tomorrow. It's okay though since we're in DC hanging out with my family, but we'd still like to be in our home. We had an uneventful but long flight and we're so ready to get rid of our luggage, sleep in our own beds and see our friends.



It's really a mixed thing though because we miss our little guy terribly and feel so bad that he couldn't come with us. He was really upset about it too which makes it that much harder. We are praying that it will be fast even though we've seen on some other blogs that the Kazakh passport process just slowed to 3-4 months. Hopefully this isn't the case and we'll be back to get him in 6 weeks.

Because he's so "old" he should have already moved up to the big kid orphanage so we're also praying that he is allowed to stay in the baby house in familiar surroundings with the caregivers and children that he knows. If he does  have to move it will be yet another trauma in this precious little boys life and I just can't imagine how we would all cope with that. I know God has this in His large and loving hands so we'll give it to him and not worry, but please pray with us!

  3. Welcome Home! We will be praying for a quick return for your little one! Our little one has been home a week and one day now and she just blossoms so much each day! The first few days were hard for her to adjust to a completely different life, but , again, within one weeks she seems like the happiest little girl you could ever meet! We anxiously await your wonderful homecoming with your new son as well.!

    Much love,
    The Hollands
