Yesterday was a low day. One of the lowest I've had. I spent the afternoon in a ball of tears and worry. But, I prayed about it, talked to Ben about it, and even meditated about it. I realize that this is not going to be an easy journey. Nothing is. There are going to be hard days, like yesterday, and there are going to be wonderful days. I know I'm doing this for a reason. I know that this baby needs our family. It needs our unconditional love and care. It needs us. And we need it. I already feel like this baby is my own, and I haven't even laid eyes on him.
Yes, I said him. We will be receiving a beautiful baby boy from Nairobi, Africa in exactly 3 days. He has been in an orphanage for the past 2 weeks. His mother died during child birth, and he has no other living relatives. Except for us. We are now his relatives. His family.
