Checking In--Our Son Came Home Two Weeks Ago!

kep

Hi! I haven't been on this board much lately (and was mostly a lurker), but I am more active on my local board. Just wanted to say HI and let you all know that we welcomed our son home from Korea two weeks ago yesterday. He is adorable and wonderful, and things are going really well. We had our first post-placement visit earlier this week. All of the headaches and waiting and paperwork are all worth it! (Although we still have more paperwork, etc., before finalization.) Anyway, things are going well, and we are so thankful!

Here is a link to a photographer's blog--she came to the airport to take pictures the night DS came home. I actually met her on the nest a few years ago. We are sooooo thrilled with the photos she captured.
