Stay tuned for more details...it will take some time to write out but I wanted you all to know that on May 5th, 2009 we saw our son, Rhett!!! He is precious and we are over the moon excited!! Even more reason to get that paperwork done!!
WooHoo! Congratulations to you and your family! Too bad my home study has taken as long as it has or we could have traveled together! :( So excited for you though! Can't wait to hear more on your little guy.
YEAHHHHH!!! Can't wait to hear MORE!!! Could you slow down on the paperwork though--I REALLY want to travel w/ you!!! Well as much as I'd love to travel with y'all, I wouldn't want Rhett to wait a second longer than he has to for his family to bring him home!
I am a daughter of the King!! I adore my husband and best friend, Brian. I am a mom to 5 children. Three I grew in my belly, two in my heart. All loved the same!
