2 weeks to go

After spending a long time getting to the point of adoption, then getting the approvals, then waiting for a child proposal, then meeting my son, then a successful court date I am two weeks away from starting the journey home.

In two weeks I will be on a plane to Russia for the third time since march.  I know the airline, the airport and where I am going.  We pick him up and then do the necessary paperwork, ie passport and visa and head home for good with my son in tow.  We will be in his city for a short period.  We will have to then stay in moscow for a few days.  We will spend the weekend there and a few business days waiting for the Canadian embassy to issue his visa.  It will give us valuable time together as a family in his home country.

People ask me how it feels and I dot know what to say.   I am definitely a lot less stressed since we are legally his parents.  I have no real expectations.  You do forget some of the headaches that got us here.  Focusing more on what type of parent you want to be and getting your home, heart and mind ready for a 2 year old.  I can't imagine being any more ready.  He's amazing and I can't wait to show him off.
