Check out my BIG news!
Hi, everyone! I had to post over here even though I'm not technically adopting from Guatemala. Most of you know our story about our sweet baby dying in Guatemala in January, so I wanted to share our good news since everyone was so supportive with our bad news then.
My husband and I were chosen to adopt a baby boy domestically! He is already born and we are heading out to be with him in a few hours! Here's the greatest part of all: his birthfamily is of Guatemalan heritage! Does that mean I get to post on here with everyone else??  Thanks to all who gave us support during our tragedy! Please pray that all goes well for our new little bundle of joy. I'll post pictures when I'm allowed.
