What a day
Birth family meeting at the orphanage. Need I say more? Even Etta was drained by the end of it. . . which is why I’m posting a pic of her from the beginning of our day instead.
We leave tomorrow night. Wish us luck.

That’s a hard thing. I hope it went as well as it could. It’s a precious opportunity so many of our little ones never have even a story of…hope your journey home is easy. Did I mention, your daughter is stunning?! Her entire face lights up when she smiles.
I can’t get enough of that smile! Hope knowing her story is giving you some comfort…I can’t imagine how draining it must have been.
Safe travels home!

I’m sure the birth family visit was emotional on many levels.
Etta is a beauty and I can’t wait to see pictures of your family all together.

Ok, time to check in, where are you? Should we send out a “mayday”. ummm…travel time, side trips (we know you), hibernating at home with the littles (plural, sweet) whatever, just a hello you’re alive post now due. ;0)
Hoping the transition home went well. Etta is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Those eyes just sparkle! I think it would be impossible not to just snuggle that little sweetie all day.
We want to hear more about the trip!
Just checking in to see how you guys are doing? I hope all is well and your trip home was uneventful. Have a GREAT week.
Just checking to see how you guys are settling in as a family of three. You are making me get a recurrence of my OCD which I thought was cured years ago – I have been checking your blog multiple times a day for updates! I hope you had a great trip to and fro.
I’ve been stalking your blog for an update since returning home. Hope everyone is adjusting well.
I love coming back to see if there is another post (hint!hint!
and seeing baby Etta’s sweet face!!! That top photo makes me smile and smile…I can’t imagine how heavenly it feels for YOU!!!! Can’t wait to see photos of your whole family together…when you get a chance 
I wish I was there – I would love to take your first family photo! Oh well – I am glad to hear the adjustment is going pretty smoothly – that is awesome – hope you get some sleep!
Best,
Laura (and Olivia)
