Anasofia Is Home!!!!!!

Well Guys I never thought this day would come but our beautiful AnaSofia is home. I will give a full rundown of our pickup trip and pictures as soon as I get settled in.

God Is Absolutely Great. Thank You Lord for our precious daughter.

To all my friends waiting, hang in there, the end DOES and will come, and what you have in the end is absolutely the best.

YaaaaaHooooooo!!!!!

LISA!!!

What a joy to hear that you and Anasofia are home! I have goosebumps.

You are one strong mama, Lisa Morales. From you, Anasofia is going to inherit persistence, and courage, and a fierce determination that stood up to governments and injustice and despair.

I know this, because these are the very things you've taught so many of us.

With Love and Hugs ~
