After all the thinking, contemplating and praying about adoption...After all the signing paperwork, getting physicals, bloodwork, background checks, social worker visits and fingerprinting (twice)...
After all the elation of sending your paperwork half way around the world...
After all the talking to our five year old about what it means to be a big sister...
After all the worrying and waiting...
After all the joy at receiving a referral...
After all the painting, sewing and cleaning to make the nursery look perfect...
After all of this, we are finally on our way to bring our daughter home.
Thanks for coming on this journey with us. We are on our way and will post from China soon.
