Finally Here

After 3 flights, 24hours of travel, we are here!!! Hooray!  After settling in we went straight to a good nights sleep.
Today, Jay (and Jim and Malinda) were up early to teach the classes for Africa Partners Medical.  I basically caught up on some much needed sleep (I can never sleep on planes).  Then I joined the crew for the afternoon session.  It was fun to watch Jay teach and to learn right along with the trainees.
After, we came back to finally meet our adoption POA (power of attorney) in person and attempt to plan the next steps.  We have three options for a court date.   The most likely option would be next Tuesday 16th followed by Thursday the 18th (cutting it close since we are heading home on the 19th), but there is still a slim chance that we could get real short notice and have to get to Cape Coast (about a 3 hour drive from Accra) on This Wednesday evening for a court date on Thursday the 11th.
We did get the great news that we will almost certainly get to meet our sweet little girl in person either this Wednesday or Thursday and would get to spend a lot of good time with her.  She has now been described to us as fairly "shy" (Ashley says "we'll teach her not to be shy!!"  Oh boy!  Here I thought we may end up with a quiet Homme :0)) and "cries easily" (she will fit right in with the teenagers around our house!).

Our heads are swimming (part fatigue, part excitement, part uncertainty about how it's all going to play out).  It's so good to know that God is in charge and His will and ways are perfect.

We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers and will post more as we know more.   For now, signing off from Ghana with love.
