Heart New Pictures of Our Sweet Baby Girl!!

Greetings Forum Friends,

I just received these photos of our sweet Sabrina Lucia. Unfortunately the photos from her 4-month medical exam were lost in transit. But my wonderful agency had one of their representatives visit with Sabrina's Foster Mother while she was in Guatemala last week to escort a baby home, and take these photos for us.

I am so grateful for these little glimpses of my daughter. I cannot wait to hold her for the very first time. Only two weeks to go

She is absolutely precious. I hope your trip is safe and you have the time of your lives. What a meeting it will be for both of you and Sabrina. Give her an extra kiss from all of us!
