Chloe Slideshow Extravaganza

Friday, November 28, 2008

Today is the day!!!!!!!!

I leave today to go get my little girl!!!!!!! God is sooooooo good. He has blessed me abundantly. I'm so excited, nervous, nauseous, and scared (in a good way).

My number one fear is that I will take her and she will be sad looking back at the caregivers, the orphanage - the only life she has ever known. I never want to be the cause of her sadness.

I overpacked I'm sure, but I've never been to Africa before. Her clothes take up almost both suitcases!

I have so many wonderful people who have supported me through this crazy process. I know that God has blessed me with great family and friends. I want Chloe to be surrounded by love always.

I also know they all want to see her, but the more I read on attachment, the more I realize how important it is to safeguard her for a few weeks before exposing her to a lot of people.

I will post pics when we return. Stay tuned...
