We got our travel date and it's November 5th!

We are so excited that in just three weeks we travel to Bogota, Colombia and then Monteria to see our son!  We have almost everything ready:)  We have been busy getting everything together, so we can go to the Colombian Consolate in Chicago to get our Visas.  The kids are very excited too, but it's going to be hard being away from them for 4-5 weeks while they stay here with my parents.  My parents are great with the kids and we will be able to skype, so I'm hoping that will help.  My brother is fluent in Spanish and he plans to go with us part of the time, so that will be nice since I am still learning it myself.

I think God planned this date perfectly considering it's the day after Orphan Sunday and our pastor already asked if we could come forward during church so he could pray for our trip (before we knew that we would be traveling the very next day)!  I'm so excited that I have had four different people these past couple of weeks ask me about adoption and what agency we are using!  We have had a wonderful couple from our church who adopted two daughters from China that have been very helpful for us during our journey and I love that God can use us in that way for other families interested in adopting!
