One year ago today was really hard. We did absolutely nothing for our process. The bright side was having Isaac with us full time. But we were beyond frustrated, we were so anxious about what the timing would be, we still had so much to do and we had plane tickets for the next day. We were angry, saddened, felt so small. Just not a good day for our emotions. It was hard to keep our hope up, to finish and get home to our older kids, by the end of this day. It is hard to think back to this day. I can say I know God was with us that day, no doubt. And we had so much support from friends, I can't imagine the state I would have been by the end of the day without the McLennans and Stengels. We were so very thankful (again!) on this day for having the great blessing of a travel group. There were praises on this day as well, most of our group received their children's passports and we finally had the final court ruling for the group, woo hoo!

Oh, man. Yeah. That was a hard day. Maybe the hardest of the trip, which is ironic because we'd both met our kiddos. Still, the emotions, frustration, and EXHAUSTION!!! I think we were all at the end of our ropes! SO THANKFUL for how it all turned out. Thanks for writing these posts. It's been therapeutic to relive it all with you. Miss you guys!
