kyburgLast minutes here. Breakfast eaten, dishes done. Toothbrush packed.
Female.
Yeah. Every time something VERY adoption-related has happened? Yeah. Surreal is very much the order of the day.
So I've packed THOSE supplies as well.
Jim is still filling out the last of the AIT forms. Yes, the shuttle will be here inside of two hours. He's on the phone with the agency now.
I'm trying to imagine what this is really going to be like...and nothing comes. I want to know - and I don't. I'm too much of a realist to get fanciful right now.
It's like getting married - only different. I suspect an arranged marriage might seem a lot like this.
The court paperwork answered some of the questions I had, which is good. Any other questions I have about his origins are going to be of a far more immediate nature (is he allergic to anything?) - he'll have coverage when he hits the ground, that's done.
I've even had a chance to talk to the Swiss consulate - and I know what they need, once the readoption is complete.
I'm looking forward to seeing the country. A great, grand adventure - and then the start of another one.
Burn the good stuff, guys. Here we go.

Date: 2009-03-12 06:30 pm (UTC)You are about to undertake the most important mission of your life: the raising of a child. Children are literally the future, after all; and now, you hold the future in your hands. Do your best to make the future good.
May God bless and keep you both -- excuse me, the three of you -- in His loving care.
