Why do I feel such a need to give Lucas THINGS? It's not as if he's ever had many things. It's not as if he expects things. I guess because I know my desire to care for his physical needs can not happen until we are together, I want to fill that void by giving THINGS. Well, I have found out that I will not be able to give him many THINGS while he is in Ethiopia. I have tried asking our adoption agency and even asking Internet friends who will be traveling to Ethiopia and it just can not happen. I will have to be content with keeping Lucas in my thoughts and prayers, and hope that those caring for him in Ethiopia are telling him about us and how much we love him.
Avery's quote of the day:
"Wouldn't it be cool it everything changed-up and Lucas came before your birthday?" Well folks, my birthday is next week, so I could tell Avery with confidence that that would not happen, but it was very cute when he said it.
Today we will take our computer to the doctor. It's not acting right, I hope it doesn't have a virus. So I will let you know what is happening later this week in case it has to stay at the doctor.
Tomorrow Benji and I go to the FBI for fingerprints. They call this biometrics now-a-days. This is a requirement of Home Land Security when someone will be bringing an orphan from another country into this country. Once our prints are cleared, we will be issued an I171H form which we need before we travel to Ethiopia. Every step we get taken care of puts us one step closer to getting Lucas home. To quote Forrest Gump "One less thing." (Be sure your read that with a Forrest Gump voice or it just doesn't sound right)
