Today's the day! We leave for the airport in exactly one hour. What an overwhelming day of emotions, for all of us. I keep thinking of what it will be like to walk through Detroit airport with her. Her having just become a US citizen! Amazing moment!
Ah, and then the rush at the GR airport. Seeing our family and friends welcoming the newest little member into our family!
It's been quite a day. We ask that you continue to pray for the adoption process ahead of us. We pray for safety in traveling and connection of flights. Pray for health for us in Ethiopia and for Gabe, Jordan, Jesse & Solomon at home. That all at home goes well while we're away.
Be with little Kyah. She's about the leave her "home" and begin a new life. She won't understand. Can't understand our language. We look, smell, talk, act and are different to her. Pray for an easy transition for her....and us.
We are looking so forward to Todd, Kyah and myself just being together! We may never have this time again.
We would encourage people to greet us on arrival at the airport in GR. We arrive on Monday, October 15 at 4:50pm.
The Klaasen family will be going into seclusion for a time of bonding with Kyah. We want her to know who her family is. If she sees a lot of new people she will be overwhelmed and confused. I don't want to keep any of you away since I can't wait to show her off. However, Bethany Christian Services strongly recommends this when we return home. So, if you'd like to see her, come to the airport and check this blog. =) We still covet your prayers, support, meals, etc....thank you very much!
Hoping to be able to update again while in Ethiopia.
Kyah....here we come!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to that Airport Party!!! I also look forward to that picture on the side of the blog changing to SEVEN dear friends! Have been praying for safe travels, adjustments, flight connections, your bonding, and lots of things. Please keep us informed if you can, when you get to Ethiopia. Also, can you post some pictures of her cute little face in the hotel room, doing her cute little things? SOOOO happy and excited for you! Praise to our Glorious Father the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
ReplyDeleteUs too....see you at the airport!
ReplyDeleteThat's why companies grant vacation time- for special events like this :) Yep, we are so excited we are both "burnin'" a few hours to celebrate with you!
