Home and adjusting to a new normal

We arrived back home Wednesday night, February 26th, to a gathering of our loved ones welcoming us back. 
 
 
 
Happy to be heading home

Hi Janet,
I came across your story at the my adoption website. I recognized Gracie from a video on my agency's website and realized her and my son are from the same orphanage! She is only in the video for a few seconds, but she seemed so sweet! I'm so happy her forever family has found her.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know about the video. It's at smallworldadoption.com, click on the partnership link, then on the financial partnership link. It's the Christmas in the orphanage video.
So happy for your family!
Blessings,
Devon

Devon - thank you so much for pointing us to the video with our Gracie in it! Such a treat to get to see her smiling face at her orphanage and know that she is home! Have you brought your son home yet?

Not yet. We are still awaiting our I800a to come back, so we can submit our dossier. We're hoping to travel in the fall!
