We have been waiting to update our blog until we had definite travel dates, but I don’t know if we are going to get those until the very last second. We *think* that we will leave Ohio on Sunday December 3rd and meet Shea for the first time on Tuesday December 4th. This could change at any point, but we are moving forward with that plan for now. It is very exciting to think that we could meet our daughter one week from today!!

The other exciting news is that we are fully funded!! We almost can’t believe it. A few more donations have come in, and we received a grant and a gift from our church. The combination of these blessings provides everything we need to bring Shea home and do her required post-placement visits.

Please pray that we will be able to travel down this weekend and bring Shea home quickly. We are very eager to make her part of our family. Also please pray for her. This is going to be a huge change, and we are worried that she will be confused and frightened as a result of this change.
