I have been asked this question by every person I have talked to in the last four days - and even though I am leaving tomorrow (YIKES!) the answer is a resounding "no"! I am not ready physically - I am not packed, I have a list of things to do still, and I was very sick Sunday, Monday & Tuesday and am still not feeling well (so adding a doctor's appointment to the list for today). I will faithfully go through the list & get it done!
I am also not ready emotionally - part of the struggle to get ready physically is that I cry - a lot - right now. Songs make me cry, sad or happy stories make me cry, praying makes me cry - and thinking about Becky, and how her little world is going to be rocked so dramatically makes me cry. Thinking about her pain & confusion, my heart breaks for her. I know - and we all know - this is better, but she does not. Please pray for our little girl this weekend - that God would prepare her heart for the change that is about to happen to her.
In all this - I am excited beyond words - I can not believe how the Lord has so powerfully worked in our lives to bring us to this moment - a moment that is filled with awe at His mightiness and power, a moment that is filled with unspeakable love for my husband, a moment that is filled with joy for my parents as they welcome their first grandchild home and a moment filled with God's love for us - His adopted children.

I can't wait to follow your journey. We just returned this week with our Huazhou honey:) She is a joy and has adjusted well. I was just watching our Lia fall asleep in her new bedroom- full of grins and giggles. That first week she was a bit nervous, but it is amazing how much she has changed!
