Smile It's a Miracle!!!!!!

Never in the past 2 years did I think I would be writing this!
We have our EMBASSY APPT yes it's true. 7/1 @ 7:15am.
I can't believe the airline prices. They aren't doing discounted seats for children anymore. No more adoption breaks.

Congratulations!

You might try Travel Intrigue. They specialize in adoption travel. Can't post the link but if you google it you should find them. They were able to get me way better deals than what I could find online, even with only 24 hours notice, way back when. It has been a long time since I needed them but I think they are still around
