Are You Sure?

I returned home from my trip to Honduras...... and it still is hard to believe that we have a son!!! Let me just sit here for a moment and let that sink in..... 

A SON!!!! 

Oh my goodness I am so excited! 

We will have many stories to share with M. when he arrives in our arms. 

It still makes me smile when I get to say I have a son or when people ask me if I have any children... I do, I DO, I DO!!!! I HAVE A SON! 

Many things were running through my head while on my trip--it was overwhelming to process everything and to not be able to ask all of the questions I had and get immediate answers. It was hard to not just sit and stare at his picture, dreaming up ideas about who he is, what his personality is like, how he will feel about us. But I am trusting that this little boy will be joining our family for a reason. Whatever that reason is, we will deal with things as they come and enjoy each moment before it passes too quickly. 

I met two women on my trip that have also adopted and they both provided me some truths about the situation we are entering into as a family. These truths provided me something to hold onto and find peace in, and for that I am extremely grateful towards them. 

We feel so fortunate and humbled that we have the opportunity to be M.'s parent's. We pray that this little boy will know the depths of our love without a doubt. 

Soon baby soon, I will hold you in my arms!
