Red face Home and finally getting a chance to post
Happy New Year, All!

Well we've been home with our daughter for almost two weeks, and I am just getting a chance to get back online to check in! It's been great...hectic, but great!

Our pick-up trip went very well...no issues and our agency took very good care of us in country. The baby has adjusted very well, sleeping through the night and eating well. She is such a joy, we are so in love with her.

When I was waiting for this process to come to an end for our family, I found it hard to believe it when people would post that, once you had your child at home with you, you forget about alll of the pain and frustration of the process, but it really is true. So please don't lose faith.

Thanks again to everyone on this board for helping me through the process. You guys rock!
