It has been so great to follow your journey. Sam is just amazing, and such a wonderful addition to your family. I can't wait to meet him, when we can get our "Dozen" together. Hope your trip home is smooth. Look forward to seeing the whole crew together. Seeing all the pictures from Guangzhou makes me want to be at Lucy's. We are all so blessed to have had the privlidge to grow our families through adoption....watching your current adventure to bring Sam home has been a joy.
Hey you guys! I can't put into words what it has been like to watch your journey from this side of the world...Steven and I logged on every day, eagerly awaiting news, pictures especially, and updates! Ups and downs, curves and bumps...along with smiles, hugs, kisses and first smiles in person (and what a smile it is!)- all part and parcel to this amazing journey.
I agree that everything that happens during this process is "meant to be." From the first time you scrolled down on your laptop and saw his face for the first time, to this calm and then tumultuous trip to receive him into your hearts and family.
I adore you all and as you lay your boy down to sleep in his very own crib, on his very clean sheets, with a hand-painted mural done through tears hanging above his head give him another little kiss on the forehead for me...
Welcome Home My Friends.
