Today's the big day!!

Well... After very long wait and journies that took us to parts of the world we never dreamed we would visit, the day has finally arrived!!! This morning at 10:00am (hopefully!!) they will bring Caleb over here to the Marriott.

While this is a very joyous time for us, we also know how hard it must be for Caleb's foster mother. Caleb is the first child that she has taken care of. We can't imagine how hard that must be to take care of a baby from the time he is 2 days old and then one day just hand him to someone else. We are forever endeared to her for taking such loving care of our little Caleb during the time that we couldn't. Please pray for her that God will help her through this time.

On a different note, we have have met so many people throughout this process. It is so interesting that many of the people we met on our fist visit trip are here now to pick up their children. We saw a guy at the Atlanta airport who we met on the first trip. His wife has been in Antigua fostering their little girl for a couple of months. We also saw another couple here at the Hotel that was here in November and three other couples are supposed to be here this week.

On a most interesting note, Sabra was sitting in the Adoption lounge and in walked a lady that we know from Lexington. She is down here picking up her second little girl. Small world, huh?

I will close with this... On the day that our family changes forever, there are a lot of wonderful memories that we have had with just the three Amigos (Sabra, Hannah and Bus). Hannah is such a wonderful daughter. She has truly "rolled with the punches" throughout her life. She has had a pretty busy life since her mom and dad move all the time, hop in the car and go all the time. Throughout it all, she just goes along for the ride. What a truly great kid she is!!

Well - audiose for the last time as the family you have known... The next blog will be from our new family (and may even include a picture).

Love,
Bus, Sabra, and Hannah
