Help me countdown....10 days!!!! 9 days now!!!! 8 days now!!!

Can you believe it..its finally, finally real. This roller coaster ride has been so damn hard..one minute they were coming, the next they weren't..now they are ABSOLUTELY coming...they are booked on a flight getting into DC on August 8th at 10 am!!! Just ten days away!!!!
My mom is flying out next friday so that she can go to the airport with me..we will make a big banner with the American flag and the Ethiopian flag and I have gifts for them. I was able to send their backpacks over to Ethiopia with clothes and games etc. I sent adorable outfits and shoes and socks and underwear.i8 bought them the cutest boxer briefs..sooo cute. I cant wait to see them coming off of that plane in these outfits. I think Im going to lose it!!! Im glad my mom will be there for this with me..I couldnt imagine anyone that Id rather be there with me at the airport to meet my children...the woman who gave me life....it just blows me away!
Well anyhow..Im counting down..just ten short days..I know I wont sleep at all..I just cant believe my wait is almost over!!!! Tick tock!

Alicia, that is absolutely wonderful. I can't believe the time is actually in the very close foreseeable future. I cannot wait to see you and the boys in the same picture with those huge smiles they have.

You deserve nothing but the best Alicia!!!!!!!

10 days and counting..........

I am so very happy to read this post. I bet you can't think of anything else right now. How wonderful that your mom will be right by your side. It would be great if someone were there to take a picture of YOU as you see your sons for the first time.
All the best sweetie. My best wishes are with you as always.
Mary

Your story is truly unbelievable. I don't come here much at all any more, but I want so much to follow your story. One only has to read your messages to know what kind of a mother you will be. Your own mom must be very proud of you.
You have all my best wishes and admiration.
Mary
