Well folks this is it. Less than a week from now, Haven should be in our arms and a day later...ours forever.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we drop the dog off at friends. Thanks Todd and Shelley!
Then we take the boys to Watertown, SD to stay with Mike's brother and his family. Say a prayer for Dave and Sherry as they'll have 5 kiddos 6 and under to take care of for the next few weeks.
Wednesday we drive back.
Thursday we get on a plane. Omaha to Denver, Denver to San Francisco, San Francisco to Hong Kong, Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City to Vinh. Whew!!!
Saturday we'll get to Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon in the South of Vietnam. We stay there a night.
Sunday we fly to Vinh city, the capital of Haven's province. Then we'll drive about an hour to the orphanage. We should be able to take Haven with us back to the hotel from there.
Monday, October 20th is when our Giving and Receiving Ceremony is currently scheduled for. Please pray that this stays the date. This ceremony and paperwork is the official adoption.
We are unsure when we'll leave for Hanoi (capital of Vietnam), but hopefully on the 21st or 22nd. It's a 7-8 hour exciting car ride.
Then we should be in Hanoi until we receive Haven's visa allowing us to come home. Hopefully we can get the visa on the 31st so that we can keep our flights for November 1st, arriving in Omaha on Sunday the 2nd. This is another prayer request for many reasons, but we'll just mention one. Eric's 3rd birthday is Monday, November 3rd which obviously we'd like to be home for.
We hope to have internet and blog access at least in Hanoi so we'll try and keep you posted.
Thanks for praying,
Shae
