Our Baby Girl Is Home

A week ago today, we touched down on U.S. soil with our Guatemalan beauty. She is doing better than we anticipated and we are absolutely gaga over her.

Of course our plan has been to adopt again and we've been watching the world of IA change a lot over the last few months. Of course it's looking less likely that Guatemala will reopen in the near future, so our plan is still a Colombia adoption. I just hope things don't change too much with Colombia adoptions before we are able to proceed.

Congrats on getting Liliana home! Enjoy every second! Colombia is a very stable program, so hopefully you won't have any problems when it comes to your next IA. Cheers!
