A little more about our visit with Anthony

It's 4:30 am here and I've come to the conclusion that we can't get use to the time change. We've been up since 2:30 am.
So anyway when we drove to Anthony's home we did not have James in a car seat.... I'm assuming that there is no law here for it because it wasn't a concern to Anthony's social worker but very hard too hold on to a 2 year old.
We get to the apartment building and take the elevator to the 7th floor. Walk down the corridor to the apartment and no one would answer the door. So our mind are going a million miles a second and then our social worker gets on her phone........ yep....... wrong floor and it wasn't my fault this time. It was a funny moment. So down to the second floor we go and the foster mother was waiting for us with the door wide open. To see him walk out of that room and touch him for the first time.... what a feeling. We are so blessed! Rachael was great and asked some very important question but the one that sticks out the most to me is " Does he have a special pillow or blanket that he sleeps with?" The foster mother walks into the bedroom and grabs his blanket and proceeds to show us how he stuffs the blankets down his mouth and sucks on it..... just like our little Corey. The way she did it was pretty funny.
We get Anthony today @ 2pm which is midnight back home and will be locking ourselves in the hotel to get to know each other. We are very happy about getting him a day earlier than we expected and the fact that we are so close to the agency. Wish us luck and please keep us in your prayers for an easy transition.

Thank you Jesus for this amazing gift that You have given us.

Lots of love to all of you who are following us and with us on our journey.

Jimmy, Rachael, James, & Anthony G.
