We are a family forever & we are home!!
We had a wonderful pick up trip with very few bumps in the road. Tori is adjusting well and is such a happy baby. We are so much in love and can't believe she is finally home. I can't remember life before her. We enjoyed a day at the zoo in Guatemala and I have attached pictures of our pick up trip. I wish everyone a good week full of DNA, PA, outs from PGN and PINK. I am sending good thoughts wherever you are in the process. All of the heartache and stress is worth it when they place your child in your arms forever.

As if to say...
I love the picture of her on the pillow.
As if to say, "well, I'm home now, think I'll just kick back and read a book..." She's a doll baby. Congratulations !!!
