Then I start to get anxiety and dreams because I sort of know what to expect this time around. Luckily I don't think the new kids are going to be buck wild like Biruk and Amira were. #1 one because I am not bringing home 2 x 4 y/olds and #2 because they don't know each other.
I sort of feel sad for Misrak and Micah that they don't know each other. When Sister Lutgerda from Kidane found out I was adopting B and A, she immediately told them they are brother and sister so 5 months before I got there, they knew they would go home together, even though they were not related by blood. When they found out they were going together, they were inseparable from that day forward. Every picture I gotten of them one was always near in the picture.
I also am worried when they come home they came single and therefore they have so much grieving going on.
Okay Andrea, everything will be fine.. I really hope I can post from there to keep you all updated.
Lastly my biggest concern is that I don't get my kids in a drive by like I did A and B.
This is the only time they met. How awkward.

I cant believe you are leaving!! I will be praying for you!! Safe travels!!
Let me just say, I had some of the same concerns since Sammy and Tekalegn were in the same boat. However, they have been inseparable since. At least Misrak and Micah will have the language in common (who knows, B&A may get some of their Amharic back). I think it will be a great help to the kids is not feeling like they were thrown in alone to a family that is already established Anyway, I am so excited for you. We 2 bags of 2s and 3s in the garage and when you are feeling somewhat settled, we need to get everyone together and since all the kids will have each other, we can just talk!
I think you will be surprised at how well they will get along - most likely they will be very glad for each other as they go through all the new things together. And no way - I wouldn't characterize either of your new kids as wild - you are going to have such an easy time with them I think. Safe journey!
It will work out. They have their shared culture and language. When they get to America they will still have Ethiopia in common and that is a BIG bond. It will work out. Be safe, have a great trip. I'll be thinking of you and all the kids!
Andrea,
It is so comforting to read about your concerns-I have so many running through my head right now that my brain has begun to itch. The crazy dreams have started as well! Despite all my worries, I cannot believe that I will meet you and your sweet children in just a couple of days. I am so excited! And just in case we are not at the guesthouse by midnight--would you mind waking up everyone on the important numbers list and tell them to hightail it over to the airport? (just kidding :) ).
Have a most wonderful trip and I will see you soon,
Susan
It is finally here! You are going to get your babies! I am so excited and so happy for you! I know it is all going to work out just fine. Enjoy every single second of your miracle! Love you!
Can't wait it's this time again.
:)
Can't wait to hear more .
Thinking of you . xoxo
