Thank you everyone for your prayers and support! Angelina is home and we are soooo happy. Today, Brith mom and Birth dad gave us the most precious, eternal gift. We admire their strength and hope that you will extend your prayers to them during this time. Adoption is weird because we are experiencing so much joy and happiness today, but we also feel sadness for the birth parents and their families. Yet, adoption is beautiful because it allows people like us to be parents and to grow our family. We feel like Baby Girl was meant for our family and our Heavenly Father chose the birth parents to deliver her to us. :)
We arrived at our adoption agency at around noon today and signed our portion of the paperwork. Then, we went to the hospital to pick up our baby girl. They made us watch a video explaining how to take care of a baby. :) After that viewing pleasure was over, we headed home! :) The kids love Baby Girl. Andi is especially excited to finally have a sister.
