Can't sleep.......

It is 2:30 am here and the true reason for our trip is upon us. I woke up at 1:30 and was unable to force myself back to sleep. The waiting is finally over. I do not know what to expect today. I can not imagine what it is going to by like for our son. He does not know that we have been waiting for over a year to bring him home. He does not know how much he is already loved. All I can think of is that I will be turning is world upside down and ripping him from all that he has ever known. I wonder if he has been prepared that his forever family is finally coming for him. Then I think how can you prepare a two year old for such a thing. Adoption is a beautiful gift. If it weren't for adoption Dave and I would have never been able to experience the joy of being parents. Emily is the light of our life and I know Jacob will soon be as well. But adoption also has a dark side, that is the grief and lose that these children have to go through to be with their forever families as well as the suffering that we have been through. But looking back I would not change one thing. God has given me one special little girl and I know Jacob is just as special. He was meant to be a part of our family and I just can't wait to see how it is all going to be unfolded to us. Please keep Jacob in your prayers today for all that he will be experiencing but also for us so that we are given the strength and wisdom on how to comfort our son as his old life ends and his new life begins!
