Tomorrow night I have the great privilege of welcoming THREE FORMER UGANDAN ORPHANS into the United States at the Birmingham airport. The Turner family (the people I went to Guatemala with, One Way Ministries) have been in Uganda for the past 3 1/2 weeks with their 3 children meeting their new son and daughter and taking care of all the legalities of finalizing their adoption. Also, another family from my church who have FIVE kids (that were not able to travel with them to Uganda) have been there getting their daughter, as well. I don't know the other family but I've been following their blog and praying for them.
They are both coming home on the same flight which leaves 7 hours from now (midnight Entebbe time). PLEASE be praying for these families as they travel. These three kids have never flown before and they have a long flight ahead of them. They have so much transition ahead of them, too, so keep praying for them! I encourage you to check out each of their stories (if you haven't been following already) and check out their precious new babies on their blogs. I feel like I have been right there with them for the whole process so it is such a privilege to welcome them all home tomorrow. I really don't think I will be able to keep my emotions in check!!!!
