OUR COURT DATE IS JUNE 11th!!
By June 9th, we will be meeting our little guy.

 It has been an emotional couple of days due to the urgency of getting flights and travel arrangements made AND the realization that we won't be joining our family on our Disneyworld FAMILY vacation that has been planned for 2 years.  Our court is RIGHT in the middle of that vacation. Not to mention, I had a business trip scheduled for next week that I am postponing due to the growth of my "to-do" list.

During the first couple of hours of quotes, phone calls and emails; our original flight quotes increased by $400 each.  Big decisions and more decisions with urgency did not make for a relaxed afternoon.  When we considered that our friends, families, acquaintances, and even strangers had dipped into their own pockets to give to us, we felt a sense of disappointment that over $5200 was gone....JUST LIKE THAT! Not only that, there is no rhyme or reason to why we are going NOW and not a month or two ago when flights were much, much lower.  If we'd have gone earlier, all of the donations we received would have gone farther.  But that is not what God had in mind and for reasons I won't know.  I have to trust God's plan.  

Another emotion that was pulled out of me in the last couple of days is that I am faced with the reality that we won't get to bring Jonah home until he is nearly 2.  More than likely, we will get a Visa Interview date sometime in July.  That is the time we go back to Korea and take custody of him forever.  August 30 will be Jonah's second birthday.  When we accepted the referral for an 8-month old baby, I never imagined he'd be this old before he came to live with us.  God has made it clear though, that this is HIS plan for us.  I will trust in Him that his plans are better.

As these emotions settle, I am becoming more and more excited for this next chapter in our lives.  
Please join us in prayer specifically for:
  Jonah's health and adjustment into our family
  Travel details (lots of flights & hotel itineraries & Korean appointments)
  Our health (that we all stay healthy during the sleep deprivation/food changes/jet lag)
  
Thank you.
