For not being much of a 'blogger', this is pretty easy so far. Thanks to my sisters (in law) for the idea and prompting to put this journey out on the web (thanks Al Gore). And a special thanks to all of you who have prayed for us and our new daughter, Grace, who we are adopting from South Korea. We are starting the blog to share this chapter of family life with you and hopefully shed some light on our upcoming trip to bring her home. When God revealed to us that his plan for growing our family was through adoption, we didn't know that it would be so long and frustrating. However, now that we stand on the verge of bringing this to a close it's all somehow worthwhile and purposeful. Psalm 130:5 "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope".
We especially want our sweet children, Reed & Annie, to see how this week is going and start getting pictures of their new baby sister. What a surprise she is in for! We leave on Monday night from Nashville, through Chicago, to Seoul. We haven't heard yet when we will meet with the agency for our 'exchange' but expect that it will be Thursday or Friday. For those who do, please pray that she will be able to attach to us and transition into her new family with ease.

Will and Julie,
We will be praying for your travels, and that for sweet baby Grace, the transition into your arms would be one of ease and comfort from the start. We love you guys and can't wait to begin life with the 5 Trapps!
