We're HOME

We had a great pick up trip - stayed at Hotel San Carlos and it was very nice.
There were about 24 other adoption appointments at the embassy on Wed. Nice to see everyone - It made me realize though how many people are out there that are not on the board. Nice to see all the little ones coming home.
Other than a few airport complications on Friday, the trip was perfect.

Welcome Home! I'm glad everything went well. We leave this week for pick up! I hope we have a smooth process like you. Any advice about the pick up?

He's Yours Forever!!!!!
