Back from trip 1
Hi Everyone,
I just got back from my first trip. It was an experience we will never forget. We are so in love with our son, he is perfect. We only got to meet him once for 2 hours because the orphanage was 3 hours drive by car from the city Kras. But thats OK, we just cant wait to bring him home. We are hoping for trip 2, sometime mid April for the court!! Thankyou all for your advice for the first trip!!
