My last post on here...

I wanted to write just one last post on here before we move onto our new blog. Yesterday was the most amazing day. I received many happy e-mails, messages, comments, and phone calls. It warms my heart that so many people cared that much about us to think of us. We were truly blessed by the friends we made on this journey. Today is a bittersweet day for me. As I see the words "out" associated with my file, I'm in disbelief. I can't believe that it finally happened for us. While I'm so happy for us, I'm very sad for the friends who are still in process. I'm definitely feeling survivors guilt today. Please know that I'm thinking of all the weary Mama's today whos hearts are breaking... I hope that I soon am rejoicing each of your OUTs! Thanks again to my wonderful, wonderful friends for being there for me! Especially for reading my 4 AM e-mails (lol) .. xoxox

This is our new blog. We're closing this one, and saying goodbye to the adoption process.... and hello to a new life, as a family of three + 1. :)

Surreal....

In a matter of weeks I will forever have my DAUGHTER home.. Today has been a whirlwind. I don't remember most of my conversations, or how the hours went by. (They were mostly spent on the phone, giggling and cheering). I can't believe that I have been blessed. I can't believe that we stuck it out. I can't believe at one point I wanted to throw in the towel. I can't believe that WE are out.... I have pinched myself twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I am so thankful today, and praising God for this miracle.

I wanted to thank all my friends for your never-ending support. I have spent many days crying on the phone to some of you.... and it means more to me then you will ever know!!!

Now the fun begins..... We are getting everything here at home in order. I have CHRISTMAS DECORATING to do! A tree to buy. Sweet little clothes to wash, and pack.... But tonight, we are just counting our blessings and enjoying eachothers company.... and happily knowing that this once very quiet house will be loud with giggles, tickles, and LOTS of love in just a few shorts wks!

We can't wait to bring you home, Emmy baby!!!!!
WE ARE OUT!!!!!!! SHES COMING HOME!!!!!!!!
