Thanks to Courtney's cousin and his wife we discovered a show on the Discovery Health Channel called "Adoption Stories." It is on every day at 7AM in Indiana (so we record it and watch it at night) and each episode follows a family through their adoption journey. It's only 30 minutes long so each episode moves quickly and catches all the highlights of the family's adoption. We have fallen in love with this show and highly recommend anyone going through an adoption or even curious about adoption to watch it...

Several of the adoptions followed are international adoptions and we both cry every time we see the moment when the parents first see their adopted child.  I'm not sure if these shows are helping us prepare more or less but they are causing us to dream and think even more about what our first moments with Noah will be like! 

On a side note, we are purchasing a camcorder to take with us.  Hopefully we'll be able to catch most of our adoption journey to Ethiopia on video so we can share it with everyone!  We are still waiting on Noah's visa and passport to move forward before we can purchase tickets.  We expect this to happen sometime over the next week.
