3 more...

3 families saw their Hai Duong baby faces for the first time yesterday. 3 more families have been blessed. Here is the road I traveled...may theirs be as joyful.

A special congratulations to my very dedicated "Waiting Grandma" reader who has just seen her delicious grandson's face for the first time. I got a peek as well and know she must just be bursting with excitement!



A bit of reminiscing

June 24th,
A peek, a glance...
at the baby that may be Benjaminh...
probably is Benjaminh
but so much about this process was unpredictable
trying not to get attached for months was impossible
I was in love within seconds.
---------------------------------------------------------------

I remember this day so well.
September 2nd.
First day back at school.
Waiting all day for the phone to ring...
referrals make it real
-----------------------------------------------
December 16th
an email
"I am thrilled to let you know your Letters of Invitation have just arrived.
We can now book your travel."
20 words that changed my life forever.
I cried like a baby
when I should have been concentrating
on dressing the Oompa Loompas for the school play.
no photos available...
--------------------------------------------------

No words required.
Finally, I met my son.

You might want to invite this photo mama extraordinaire
to your airport arrival...

You are right: I am bursting with joy. I am bracing myself for the up and down journey of this final phase.

Want you to know that following Ben and your journey as helped me get through ours.

Hope you don't think that I am stalking you! lol

Aw, you are making me all weepy. That is why I probably shouldn't check blogs on my lunch!
