when will we travel?

That's the question on everyone's tongues. Frankly, we don't know.
We do know that our attorney in Uganda will be sending us an affidavit to sign soon, and once we return that, our court date will be issued.
A lot of the timing hinges on our definition of "soon." The affidavit will come soon, but our definition of soon in the US isn't the same as the definition of soon in Uganda. As was the case when I lived on the Mexican border, "soon" means different things in different cultures.
So that affidavit that's coming soon?
It could be next week. Or it could be next month. Or it could be longer.
The irony hasn't escaped me: we're struggling to be patient as we wait for Patience and her siblings.
I remember those moments of anticipation as we boarded the plane to meet Zoe like it was just last year. {Oh, wait. It was.} In the next week or so, I'm going to blog in more detail about that trip. I just couldn't unpack our journey to Zoe into words until now.
Heck, I couldn't even unpack my bags from the trip until we had been home for two months. True story.
Today, I'm packing bags for our next trip, preparing items we don't need for a while and clothes for our newest children.
And I'm being refined as I wait impatiently for Patience and her brother and sister.
