Well, it was suppose to be my Sister and her whole family, several friends and their children to be at the airport, and my parents meeting us back at the house. Then the Blizzard hit NY (JFK) and we where delayed leaving Moscow for 2 days, which changed EVERYONE's schedule. It turned out that our agency Rep who lives an hour from JFK, picked up me and my DD, and drove us South in NJ, and 1/2 way, my Mom & Stepdad picked us up, and took us home. ALSO, the day we where to fly out of Moscow (SVO), we had a 7+ hour delay because of "White-Out" conditions. It certainly was NOT what I had imagined for my DD arrival to the US for good, but it was still wonderful to have her on AMERICAN SOIL!!!! No matter anyone tells you, there is NO FEELING LIKE being Home and feet planted firmly on our SOIL!!!!

Remember, no matter what you PLAN, (i.e. small, med. large group(s) at the airport, home, etc.) it will be WONDERFUL!!! Let your family and friends worry about that.... depending on how old your new daughter &/or son will be, you can gently suggest the size, but don't worry about the details. They will enjoy doing this, since the adoption (process, emotions, etc.) they really couldn't get a grasp of.... no one can unless you go through it!
