Thailand or Bust Baby!!!

So I need to back up a little bit.  Most recently we have been waiting for something called a To Whom It May Concern letter, basically our formal invite to travel.  The placing agency is going on their fall trip to Thailand this coming weekend.  With the trip so close, everyone assumed that they would get our TWIMC letter while they were there (or at least an update) and we were expecting to not hear anything until they returned in about three weeks.  Well...yesterday I had the day off and was taking care of random things around the house when the phone rang.  It was our new social worker at WACAP and she very calmly said "I know we just spoke last night, but I just checked my email and am looking at your To Whom letter..." My response? "Huh?" So she repeated herself and again I answered appropriately with "Whose?" As if, why are you telling me other people's news???  Then it sunk in...She had our To Whom letter, WE ARE GOING TO THAILAND, WE ARE BRINGING OUR SOM HOME!!!!  They very intelligently did not give me any instructions of what to do next as it was very clear (and loud) that I was not paying attention to anything after the first and most important sentence!  We leave the beginning of December and will be home right before Christmas, talk about the Merriest Christmas EVER!!!  We had sent along a gift package with the social workers to give to Frank with our list of questions but now we have a new request.  Through tears and laughter I asked the people going over to hug him, hug him tighter than they have ever hugged a child, and tell him that his mommy and daddy are packing his suitcase and they would be there soon and would love on him for the rest of his life.  It must have been the wishful packing :)  In all honesty, it was the prayers, the love, the positive energy, and the chanting that all of you did in Frank's name and we cannot begin to tell you what it means to us that you supported us as you have.

We are going to meet our son, we are going to bring him home.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Love,
John and Nancy
