Ahhhh!!! Ok so the last few days have been CRAZY!!! We got our confirmed appt for the US Consult which means we will officially be meeting Owen for the first time on May 11!! Less than 2 weeks from now!
In the last few days we have planned our travel, booked flights, scheduled him for Cleft team, Pediatricians appt.'s and contacted his Burn team to start the process to get him scheduled there. Seriously it is crazy around here! Bags are starting to get packed and we officially are only 8 days aware from leaving!
Yesterday Konnor picked out a couple of the chunky cars he used to play with, the kind you pull back and they go across the floor. He put them in Owen's suitcase and said he could have them b/c they are for little boys and he is a big boy now. Oh melt this Mama's heart. We are trying to prepare Konnor as best we can and as of now he is super excited about "going to bring Owen home."
In the coming days I am going to be posting a lot about cocooning and the why's of it after an adoption. I talked about this with Konnor's adoption, but many do not understand why it is necessary and unfortunately there were relationships that were damaged due to lack of understanding. Please remember that ultimately we will do what is best for our boys regardless of if it is understood, but we will try to pave the way so that people have a better grasp on the situation. Thank you for your understanding on this topic.
8 days!!!!
