ICPC is complete, I'm home...

hey all, two weeks flat is what it took for ICPC to be complete. Ohio received the packet last Thursday and VA received approval from them on Monday and I was home by Tuesday night. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I can not tell you all how happy I am to have that part of the journey behind us. Now I have to wait for Friday to come and go and I"m home freeeeeeeeeeeeee. Friday is the end of the birthmom's revocation period. Fingers crossed.

Finalized 4/17
The m/c's, the infertility, the waiting, the failed matches, it has all been worth it to have our beautiful baby S. She was meant to be ours we just had to wait for her to come along!
Our God is so Good!!!
