Tell me I'm just in overdrive....
and to relax that everything will be fine!!! I have felt for months that this is where God has wanted me. I have prayed and prayed, asking for His guidance in this. This whole time, this is where I felt I should be. And honestly, I am NOT doubting this decision....I think that REALITY is just setting in.
3 weeks from tomorrow I will be heading to Guatemala City for what we hope is the final time to foster Sydney until homecoming. I am very excited to be able to spend this time with her. Just me and my girlie. At the same time, the thought of leaving my husband and boys makes me want to throw up!! I am leaving my family and my physical support here! NO ONE is coming with me.....I will be by myself. Left to deal with everything down there and Alan is left to deal with everything here. I do NOT know how long I will be there.
It's beginning to set in........and I'm SCARED!

You will be fine. You and Sydney will have each other and God will be with you always. There are always other families down there too that you will have the opportunity to meet.

You will do great !! I know some awesome people in Guate that will help you in a second if you need anything ... so you are not alone. It will be so worth it and such a awesome experience for you !! Hugs !!!
I agree! This will be an awesome experience. I wish I could have fostered both times. The bonding you will have with that girlie is so worth it all. She will adjust to you in her country, making the adjustment to the whole family in her NEW country all the easier. There are plenty of fostering mothers still there in Antigua who have felt these same feelings (I am betting) and will gladly let you vent, cry, rant, rejoice, and just hang out with them. Good luck. I can't wait to see your posts about all the cool things you are getting to see and experience in our children's birth country. Things I can only HOPE to see with my kiddos one day--if this last adoption ever gets paid off!!!! :~)
Have fun, BREATHE, and put it all in God's hands.
