We Got Cleared!!!

On last Tuesday, December 4th we were finally submitted to embassy. It really seemed to take FOREVER. On Thursday night (Dec. 6th) we got the email saying that we are CLEARED!!!! It almost never happens this fast, although we were hoping, and praying and begging God that it would. We are leaving this week to go get our SON!!! And yes, he gets to come home before Christmas! Best Christmas present ever. We are elated, freaked out, a tad nervous, and overwhelmed with JOY that we FINALLY get to bring our son home after 2.5 years in this process. Would you please be praying that we have safe (and healthy) travels, that he is able to quickly recognize that we are not just another caregiver but his mommy and daddy who love him beyond measure, that little man can be healthy and we can all get home in one piece? We'd greatly appreciate it! I'll try to update while in country, we'll have quiet a bit of time on our hands since we are encouraged to stay in our hotel the whole 7 days we are in country and our boy will likely be taking many naps, so lots of down time for us to just get to know him and our boy to get to know us :) WE. CANNOT. WAIT!!!!!
