So glad that you had such a wonderful trip back. What a blessing to have your precious ladies home with you, being able to worship in your own church together and to be able to introduce Mia to some of the family and friends who have been praying for you and waiting to meet Mia and see Kristina again. God bless you at your first day back teaching! Don't get a speeding ticket in your rush to get home!!!

Congratulations to the whole family!! As you know, I, (along with many others here!!!) have been reading your story and praying that you would all be together at home soon. I was so happy to read your homecoming post. Mia is just a happy and beautiful little girl. She is so fortunate to have had her Mommy with her for most of her life and to have a Daddy who allowed this to happen. Your posts were always so uplifting and inspiring...yours has been one of my favorite adoption stories. Enjoy this special homecoming time and please post some pictures!!

Diane

Welcome home!

This is the coolest part of these boards...watching everyone get so excited about homecomings and rejoicing together each step of the way!

I'm SO glad your family is back together and I pray for a lot of peaceful bonding time for you now.

Mia sounds like she's so well adjusted and I know it's due to both of your sacrifices and the security she had in having her mommy there with her from such a young age. I adore the pictures of her with you, Cody, and to see how quickly she's taken to her daddy! (Though I think my favorite is the one in your photo album where Mia is following Kristina through a store and they both have on white shirts and blue jeans and Mia looks like she's trying to walk in Mommy's footsteps! Precious!)

Keep the pictures and encouragement coming for us newbies...

Paige
