Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...

Only one more sleep until we leave to go pick up Asha. It seems strange to me that it is so close now. There are so many things that I am feeling; excitement, nervousness, worry. I have imagined what the "perfect" reunion will be like to meet Asha for the first time. I hope that she will just know from seeing us that I am her Mamma and Scott is her Dadda. They have been showing Asha a picture of us since we got the referral for her, so we are praying and hoping that it all makes sense to her. She is a genius though (have to say that cause I am her Mom), so I am sure she will put the pieces together!

To all of you who have followed our blog thus far, thank you. Scott will be updating the blog while we are gone. But, while we are away we need all of you. Even though Asha is already ours, we still need prayer that things get accomplished in SVG quickly, so that we only need to stay in the country for a month. Please pray for our travel there and our travel home. The trip there is going to be extremely long and tiring (for me especially); we leave at 9:10 pm to Calgary, have a two hour delay, then from Calgary to Toronto and have a three hour delay and then Toronto to Barbados and have a two hour delay in Barbados until we get on a plane for St. Vincent. Our journey ends at 6:10 pm when we arrive in beautiful Vincyland. Also pray for us in SVG as the country is not very wheelchair friendly - pray that we have a relatively easy time and can manage in the Ottley's home and sightseeing on the land. And remember, next time we see you, there will be three!

I know that Asha is waiting for you..
She will be reaching out to both of you, as soon as she hears you're voices. We pray that you're trip be smooth and painless.
May God guide you on you're road to St. Vincent and back home again. We will be right here waiting for the three of you to return home. God Speed. We Love You, Mom and Dad..Nana and Gramps
