First family photo
Happy Thanksgiving!
Here is our first good family picture. We have waited so long to have our family complete and this little girl getting OUT of PGN and so close to joining our family forever is amazing! We leave tomorrow but not for too long. We already have flights booked from Dec 24th to Dec 31st and I might just have to stay until I can bring Emma home! I am praying to have her home NO later than the end of January!
