All things going well, we will travel out on the magical 20Th January. We spent quite a bit of time with our travel agent trying to see what flights were available. You can only fly in and out of the Philippines on a Saturday, so we were limited.
All the flights that fly direct were fully booked with many people waiting, so we checked the round the world in 80 days approach.
When she got back to us and said that she found three seats left on the 20Th, it sent tingles all through me....that date that I kept getting looks like it's the one!!Thank you God!!
Of course, all of Jeremiah's documents need to be sent to us before we travel, so we still wont have a definite yes until sometimes the day before your due to leave. But at the moment, we have been given a rough approval that date. So that's what we are believing for!
The kids are hilarious, especially Jordan. He just keeps jumping, twisting, shouting, laughing and making inaudible sounds out of the blue.....I guess you could say, he's very excited. All our children are but because Jordan is what we call our MORE child ( he can be more happy, more sad, more loving, more angry)...he has been the most outwardly passionate with the adoption from the very beginning!
Since we started the process 41/2 years ago I could count on the one hand the days that he hasn't prayed about the adoption. Just thinking about the many incidents with him makes my heart swell with love and pride. It's funny how you love your children all so much, and no matter how many you have, they are all so unique that you find new things to love about them every day.
I think my days can get so hectic sometimes that I can forget to reflect on all those little things. So part of my routine before going to sleep is recalling the day and finding those little moments, those little words that my children say during the day that encourage me that it's not all sibling quarrels, dirty clothes, and repeating the same request over and over.
Emily 5, Jordan 10, and Kahlan 14.
I would so love to show everyone our son Jeremiah, but I'm not allowed to show his photo or reveal too much detailed information about him. So you will have to take my word for it when I say he is gorgeous, just like all of our children!

So close Brandi! What a beautiful post. I love how you call Jordan MORE. Not a negative connitation to his spirited nature. You still inspire me, even if at the moment you're too frazzled to remember little things. It's just like the pregnancy brain thing, only people don't see the bump and the swollen ankles you've had for 4 1/2 years!!!
Wow, you have me reading with tears in my eyes. A incredible set of events. Please be sure to document how it all goes when you get your son home, it's amazing to hear about. Miraculous really.
