We leave tomorrow to fly to Texas to finalize Abram's adoption . . . and take a mini tour of the state in the process! We are spending Friday and the weekend in Dallas with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Merrie. Then we are flying to San Antonio on Monday to finalize Abram's adoption in front of a judge (and visit the Abrazo office to say hello). On Monday night we are also flying to Lubbock to visit Abram's birth family for a few days. Then, we will drive back to Dallas and fly back home. Whew! Makes me feel tired just thinking about all that traveling!
But . . .
We are really excited to see Tom and Merrie. And the thought of seeing Abram's birth family makes me unbelievably excited. I have been counting down the days. I've been emailing Abram's Tia Leti to let her know we are coming. I told her that I love that going to visit her feels like we are going to visit our family. What an incredible gift God has given us in Abram's first family. Oh, I love them so much. Tia Leti is super excited and counting down the days until we come, too.
I can already feel a waterfall of tears welling up within me that will explode when we see Abram's birth family . . . and more accurately, when they get to see Abram. Because as much as Abram is 100%, without question ours, when I look into his eyes every night when we play his music box from Tia Leti, I am so aware that he is also 100%, undeniably theirs. And he always will be. And I am grateful that that fact doesn't scare me or threaten me. It is such a gift.
Our nightly routine.
