In less than 24 hours we leave for home. This journey has been incredible and our trip has been perfect. Our new son is everything we have prayed for! And, pray, I did! I feel like we took a huge leap of faith in our journey to Charlie. In about 10 months, we became a family of 6! While we had definitely contemplated adoption for a long time, last year at this time I could not have imagined where we'd be today. When we started this process with our agency 10 months ago, we had doubts. But, I kept being pulled in this adoption direction. And, finally, we decided to give way to what we thought God had in store for our family. And, how thankful we are that we did! Look at this amazing child! And, he is ours!
And, here are the "red couch" photos that adoptive families take...just a big, uncomfortable red couch at the White Swan (the couch is as hard as the beds are)...here are Chloe and Charlie, Chloe and her new family (minus a brother and sister at home), and our new family (minus 2 sisters and a brother at home)! Think of how many newly created families have sat on this sofa (including my own sister-in-law)...what a blessing!

Wow, what a wonderful journey you have been on. It is amazing how wonderful God is when we just obey. Charlie is a precious little boy. He seems to have blossomed as the days have gone by. We'll be praying for your trip home. I look forward to meeting your new son!
I agree about the couches. Hard, red and a lot of them. However, we'll be taking our pictures on one too:-)
