We Are Home!!!

We arrived on Saturday!!! Ethiopia was an amazing place. I was able to actually see where my daughter is from and met with her birthmother.

My daughter is an amazing girl. She is adjusting perfectly fine and is fitting right into our family.

Her name is now Anaya Letarik and she is 10 years old. She chose to make her given name her middle name and wanted Anaya as her first name. She adored the meaning of Anaya which means "gift from God".

I'm one lucky lady!!!

Here's my favorite picture of my girls.. This was taken the minute she arrived at our house. I finally get to post her picture!!!!
