Our daughter has arrived!

Hell All!
Just wanted to let you know that we are in CA finishing up the ICPC process so that we can bring our newest addition, Olivia Grace, home to Ohio this week! She arrived about 4 weeks early and weighted in at just 5 lbs. 11 0z. on Sept. 21st. She is an absolute beauty and we are really enjoying her as a new family of 5! All of you who have been sharing your kind words and prayers, thank you, our dream has become a reality! For those of you still waiting, I promise that it will happen for you as well. It has been a long 2 years of waiting, hoping, praying, etc. It is all worth it in the end, I promise! Good luck and best wishes to all of you.....time to catch a quick nap as my girl is a nightime party animal! Bridgette

Thank you for sharing your joy.

Seems like it is all worth it once you hold your baby.

Much happiness to your family.

Congratulations!

Wow, that was my birthweight (5# 10 oz) and I was full term. Guess being born 11 months after my sister had something to do with my tiny size......

She is a healthy weight for a baby 4 weeks early.

Hope your stay in CA is short.

Olivia Grace

Hi!
I wanted to thank you all for the kind words and good wishes you sent us during this frustrating, never-ending, wonderful, joyful ride of adoption. We could never have made it through this long 2 year period of searching for our newest miracle without your words of hope and inspiration to guide us through our roughest hours. To all of you still waiting, it will happen for you too! Hang in there and believe all of the stories and words of encouragement that you receive and ignore the negative. It will happen for you, keep the faith! I have attached a picture of our newest darling for you all to see, and I am sure you will agree that she is one beautiful baby!! We are home safe and sound and looking forward to resuming a more "normal?" schedule! I wil be checking in on all of you here regularly. Thanks again for your help, I could not have made it through without all you! Bridgette
