Praise JESUS that child is getting O-U-T of there and home where she BELONGS!!! I actually cannot BELIEVE we are not going to be talking for an hour and a half every day about this adoption anymore!! But, as much as I treasure all the heartfelt conversations we had, I will gladly trade them for talk of baby poop and formula! LOL!

I love you guys - this has been quite a year and I don't think any of us are the same people as when it started. But despite all the heartache and hardships, I know you would do it all over again and again for that gorgeous baby. God must have big plans in store for Miss Bella - there was just too much opposition to her coming home to your family to think anything otherwise. I look forward to seeing her blossom into the woman God intended her to be - and to the day when I can brag that "I knew her when" :-)
