We're on our way to meet David

In less than 36 hours, we'll have David in our arms. My emotions are all over the place! What will it be like to meet our son who according to the law is not yet our son? What will it be like to leave after having spent several days with him, not knowing when we'll see him next? Will there be an immediate connection? Will David have any understanding of who we are? What will this little boy who we've been praying for for months be like? Are we going to get lost in what we've heard is a chaotic Port-au-Prince airport?! I'm so curious to see the orphanage, meet the missionaries and workers, experience Haiti, etc. I guess my feelings can best be summed up as lots of excitement mixed with a whole bunch of nervousness.

Our bags are pretty much packed and when Jay gets home from work today we're heading off. Josh is staying with Jay's parents, so we'll head there first. This will be the longest we've ever been away from him -- lots of firsts for all of us this week! Then off to my parent's house where they'll drive us to the airport early tomorrow morning.

We'll be back in a few days with pictures and stories!
