Yahoo - the long wait for travel is over!!!

After waiting approx 6.5 months post referral, at 8:25am this morning my agency called! Sophie Jo is arriving at O'Hare airport on Wed at 3:45pm. She's going through Japan/Detroit on a NW flight along with 4 other babies! What a joyful event to share with other parents.

Thanks for all of your encouragement and support!

Sami

Congratulations! Our son arrived via the Japan/Detroit route to DC (He was also born just three days after her). Believe it or not, he was smiling and happy when he got off the plane. Enjoy the amazing experience of meeting your daughter. I hate that your wait has been so long, but she's at such a fun age right now. Enjoy!
