Decisions...Waiting.....Decisions.......Waiting..........

Here we are sitting in wait for our US fingerprint clearance. We have been given an embassy date of March 15th in Ethiopia, yet cannot go because we have no visa from the US, as of yet, perhaps today??? I'm wondering what shots we should take and thinking through the food situation (perhaps protein bars will be a good back up on this trip). It's a bit overwhelming to think of packing for 4 children plus your husband and yourself,along with luggage limitations for an international trip. We've been told that lice, ringworm, scabies, and giardia are all on the horizon, so I picture large amounts of time in the bathroom can't you just picture this??. I hope to have a clear mind for all this meds stuff and keep everyone straight on who got what. Then if you add Jeff and I to the picture of lice meds for protection I'll have a few more ball's to balance, Oh My Goodness!!! Oh My Goodness!!! I've been struggling over the sleeping situation and wondering how do we do this? We have these funny wall's upstairs in the bedrooms(old house problem)that have an angle toward the ceiling, so bunk beds that are 54in' tall are the only ones that will work and finding these babies ain't gonna happen!?? To have these babies built is a mere $1000 something for two of them. So... now we're on to plan M, take note how many plans we've had:) The question is should the girls sleep together in one big bed, as they are used to? I want them to be able to comfort each other and not feel alone, yet if I bring them home and show them their shared bed, will they be disappointed that they did not get their own bed? It's one of those no win situations, and polarizes me from moving forward, ugh!! I hate that when it happens!! I ask for your prayers concerning decisions and plans being made for our trip. I'm not able to tell all concerning our trip to Ethiopia, but I know it is going to be an adventure like none other. We are going to have to trust our Lord for right timing and right places to stay. Pray that God will give us favor to meet the birth moms. I don't know how this will all unfold but God does and I must trust Him in this. I'm praying for money help in the way of our plane fares; would you join me in this? All it would take is one special travel agent who could get us a good price, or airfare miles given to us; sometimes it doesn't take alot, sometimes it just takes one, Lord give us one..... Cindy
