By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours.
An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for,
received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full.
Love is meant to be shared.

We Are Home!!!

After all the long flights, we arrived at Dulles to find a dear friend (Carol) waiting for us. My parents were late with the kids. In the end though, it worked out great because it was a wonderful sight to see our kids running across the terminal to us! Jacob was such a trooper on the flights. I will say that the 14 hr flight seemed to go A LOT faster with a toddler in tow. Clearing Customs and Immigration was also a breeze.
