No longer a Marathon Waiter, she is home!
After waiting 18 months between trips, we arrived home late last night with our daughter from Vladivostok. It was an amazing journey. I want to let everyone know that you truely do forget the wait when you get there and know that the adoption is really going to happen. God matched us with the perfect daughter for our family, we just can't be happier.
Our new daughter loves everything about her new home, especially her bedroom. BTW, I was amazed at how hard our agents over there are working to make these adoptions happen. Everything that I was being told about the reasons for the delays over the 18 months turned out to be real, it is just a complex process in a complex system. I am exhausted from 30+ hours of travel, so I will try to post more later. Sprout
