We are so excited that we are finally leaving to bring our baby girl home. We have learned much through this journey, and most importantly that He is with us always. There have been many moments of doubts, fear, and anxiety....but with certainty, we know that Evy being a part of our family is HIS plan.
So, as we depart for our long journey tomorrow, we wanted to share a few specific prayer requests:
- Please pray for our safety. With all that is happening in the world, we pray for legions of angels to guide and protect us.
- For health. We've had a lot of sickness in our house the last few months, but thankfully we are all well now. Please pray that we stay healthy throughout the journey.
- For Energy. We're thrilled to bring Ean with us, but needless to say it's going to be a lot of work. Please pray for us to have strength and patience with him.
- For Our Families. Just this past week, we put my dad in assisted living. A huge change. Please pray that I will have peace about his care, and for protection over my mom and Carlos' family while we're away as well.
- For Evy's Birthmom. I feel honored to potentially get to meet her mom, but I am overwhelmed with emotion. Please pray that she will be able to meet us, and that I will have the words to share with her.
- For Evy's Transition. We take custody of Evy on her 1st Birthday. HUGE ANSWERED PRAYER. Please pray that she will connect with us and begin attaching and feeling safe.
- For our Visa. We have our interview with the Embassy on Monday 28th, please pray that all goes smoothly, and we can leave as scheduled.
- For our Flights. We had a lot of problems with flights and luggage on our last trip. Please pray that we'll connect and everything will get there as planned. There's a lot to bring for 2 kiddos!
- For Coming Home. Life will be a bit chaotic for us to find our groove with two kids, time changes, etc. Please pray for a smooth transition, and for the stress of the unknowns in our lives to not overwhelm us when we get home.
Above all else, we thank you for being part of this amazing journey with us. And, we PRAISE GOD for all HE has done.
Love to you all.

Michelle, I have followed your journey to Evy on FB & I'm so thrilled for you. You guys will be in my prayers as will all involved in this miracle.
ReplyDeleteOur neighbors adopted a little girl from Taiwan last Feb (just over a year ago) so I know how hard the waiting, jumping through hoops, etc can be. I imagine that your heart is just exploding with joy right now. Just know that you are all being lifted up in prayer. You're in GREAT hands, to be sure! God bless you!!
