Chelsea and I are pleased to announce that we now have a new addition to our extended family. The Moaks arrived home yesterday with their son Henok! We are so very excited and proud of them for their patience and endurance. They now have their precious son! We were fortunate enough to live close by to be able to greet them at the airport as they arrived. The new grandparents, great aunt and uncle, as well as cousins, and aunt's and uncle's were all in attendance! It was incredible to see Henok wheeling his luggage out in front - luggage nearly his size - and the excitement in his eyes when he saw his welcome sign (created by his aunt and cousin). For us it is terribly exciting as we await just our homestudy and referral. As for me individually, it was encouraging to see another family accomplish the same goal we have, and to know some of what they have triumphed over. By the way, if anyone wants to know what Epiphony looks like...ask the Moaks (as they were there!).
For us we have an exciting day coming Wednesday - our home study. As we stated earlier, we feel like we have pretty much put into motion everything we can. We have mailed in almost everything (our FBI fingerprint/background stuff should be sent out soon), and now just await a completed homestudy, our FBI Background clearance, and then the translation of our documents. Lot's of paperwork, and lots of mailing...but it's nearing the end in that regard. Please continue to remember us, as well as others who are in the adoption process - we need courage and strength, wisdom, and surely some other things that you parents are already aware of.
We shall post some more relatively soon!

Epiphany equals gridlock traffic. Bring a potty bucket.
