Looking back at this timeline...we can't believe that we are finally at our travel day!
Thanks to everyone who has supported us at all points in our adoption process.  

Tonight we each opened a fortune cookie as we await our journey ahead and meet our new family member.  Here is what we opened in honor of Lucy.
Happy news is on its way to you!
You will be fortunate in everything you put your hands to!
You will always be surrounded by true friends!
Three great fortunes for our little girl.

  1. Once kids are in bed, I can't wait to read through your journey. Just curious were you always SN because I don't understand why it would take so long. Hope you have an easy flight and a fantastic trip. So excited for you!
