We're Finaaly Home With Beautiful Finley!
I just wanted to let everyone know that we are finally home with our beautiful DD Finley. I'm really busy trying to get caught up on everything since we were gone for two weeks. I will definatly post a picture when I get the chance. I was wondering if anyone needs a russian power converter or the Russian adoption handbook. No charge for either of course. The first one interested will recieve it. Thanks and I'll post again soon.
