Excited that we were able to communicate last night and we were thrilled to receive so many responses. Busy running around today. Arrived at the State Dept around noon to find out our appointment time for tomorrow. It is 11am. Please send us positive energy and good thoughts.
It was very surreal walking up to the building which is old and very unassuming. While we were there we watched an Italian couple exit with tears in their eyes. It was obvious that they were tears of joy! Jess and I both looked at each other and fought back our tears. We can only imagine at this point what it must have felt like. Our facilitator Sveta told us that Italians adopt more children from the Ukraine than any other country, then Spain and then the US.
Tomorrow there are about 12 appointments altogether starting at 9am. It is very strange to be at this point in our journey and surprisingly I am quite relaxed and confident. Jesse is feeling more nervous than I, but truthfully together we are balancing one another out. We are keeping ourselves busy until we leave our apartment at 9:30am t0morrow. How could it be that tomorrow we will be choosing our child? How do we know we are making the right choice? How will our child feel when we first meet them? How will our lives change? How can today we be childless and tomorrow we begin to become parents? We ask each other these questions again and again, and without reservation we know that the Universe is setting it up just perfect for all of us to come together. Hoping we get some sleep tonight...tomorrow will be a wonderful day!
We will blog immediately after our appointment. Do zavtra!
