Departing Monday March 3rd

Woo-hoo! We finally have a travel date and plane tickets! We are leaving on Monday, March 3rd to go to Bogota. We will arrive there late Monday night. We will have Tuesday to settle in and orient ourselves, and will be presented with Esteban on Wednesday, March 5th. We will celebrate March 5th as Esteban's "Gotcha" Day for many years to come!

We are so excited. With every little step, like actually buying the plane tickets, the reality of Esteban being part of our lives becomes a little clearer, a little more concrete.

Please continue with the good thoughts and prayers.

What a relief to have a departure date, although you have to wait another whole week!!! I'm sure it's hard to concentrate on much else. Are you nesting and getting the nursery ready? We are thrilled for you, and look forward to each new blog update. We're sending you much love, and our very best hopes and wishes. love, jenny-o, greg, and kira

This is fantastic news! We will all be celebrating gotcha day. By the way, my grandfather's name was Francis (and it was my dad's middle name too). Excellent choice ;)

We think of you often and wish you the best on your trip.

Love, Chris, Lisa, Mason, and Keaton

Our prayers are with you. Stay safe. And remember: Esteban doesn't have to grow up to be a Red Sox fan. That is preventable.
