I am very sorry to all who actually read this blog, I have been very busy and it has slipped my mind to update what has been happening with our adoption. I am currently back in the “states”, I flew in 3 days ago on the flight that was originally planned when we started this adventure. My dad and brother, however, are still in Liberia due to some unexpected troubles with the U.S. Embassy. Fortunately, things seem to have straightened themselves out and my dad and brother should be home soon.
I will try and post a few more stories about what it’s like being back and I will defiantly announce when the adoption is finished so check back in a few days for more information.
I enjoyed exploring Liberia and seeing how much the culture differs from America; many things we would consider offensive or shocking are really just blown up assumptions of what our society thinks. I now see that Africa is different and we should love it for where it’s at, and not judge it by what we know as “our” normal.

Looking forward to more updates and some stories of Africa after you've settled back home. Do let us know when your Dad & brother are home! Glad you made it home safely!
