congratulations on your beautiful daughter and wonderful trip

Hope you don't mind, I just emailed after trying to PM you. I'd love to read more about your experience with adopting an older child. We adopted our daughters from Guatemala when they were 10 1/2 yrs and 11yrs. Of course, one was 9yrs when we started her process and the other 8yrs when we submitted our dossier for her adoption. They are each the age of one of our sons, also from Guatemala. The boys each came home at 4yrs old, two years apart. My email tells of our other children. Thank you.
