Here We Grow

We're on our way to Bangkok, Thailand this Friday morning at 11am to go get daughter #2. We are flying to NY Thursday evening and spending the night with Samantha's dad so we can be at JFK bright and early Friday AM. We are so excited and nervous. It's a non-stop flight from JFK to Bangkok totaling 17 hours. Baby Julia is going to go with us too. We just couldn't leave her home while we went halfway around the world. I haven't even left her for one night yet. Yep, just couldn't do it. So this will be our first family trip. I don't think it could be any more fitting. It won't be easy but nothing good is ever easy (for us at least).

Here is a recent picture of Maya. She will be in 2 yrs old on April 21st.















We meet Maya on Monday morning at 10am or Sunday night at 10 pm (EST) for you guys on the East Coast. There is zero transition time. We go to the orphanage, meet her, fill out some paperwork and then leave with her. Dave and I are really worried about this abrupt transition. We hope things aren't as bad as we think they're going to be. How does that saying go? Expect the best but prepare for the worst. That's us. We're also worried about any paperwork snags that may arise at the US Embassy or the Immigration office in Bangkok as we try to get a Visa for Maya. We think we have everything we need but you just never know with government paperwork.

Please send us all of your positive thoughts and prayers that things go well for us on this trip as we need all the help we can get. Hugs & kisses to all. The next time you see us we will be a family of FOUR!
