Freaking out

Well, it's starting to look like we may travel sooner than we had anticipated. You'd think after 3 adoptions I'd know better than to try to orchestrate exactly when we would travel, but nevertheless, I do it every time. This year, we are supposed to go to Maine the first week of August, for me to compete in the Masters Track National Championships, and to visit with our friends, Pat and Paul and their girls. Kind of a two-for-one trip! But it is very possible that we will be in China about then. I have been talking with another family adopting a little girl from Wuhan, also using our agency, Small World (we love them!) Their family needs to travel late July or the first week of August. We hope we can travel together, but we both need different timeframes. I find it so hard to just say, "God will work it out and His timing is always perfect." But I know that's what I should believe.

I have been working on a little package for Josiah. It has a photo album, a couple of board books, a stuffed dog, a shirt, and a couple of gifts for the orphanage director and foster family. I am trying to find a family traveling to Wuhan soon to hand carry it, but so far no luck.

Concentrating on other things (homeschooling, housework, etc) is almost impossible right now. Maybe I should pray that our LOA will come REALLY early and we can go to China in early July. That might work out nicely...
