Van meets his baby sister for the first time;)
Daddy is immediately smitten;)
So is mommy
As you can see we are in love with our new addition. We are currently hanging out in a hotel suite waiting for clearance to come home with her (we heard today that we could be cleared as early as tomorrow so cross your fingers!).
It has been such an incredibly emotional and sacred experience having her join our family. We were blessed to spend three wonderful days with Brielle's whole birth family (we're talking great grandparents and everything) before placement and words can't express what that time meant to us. It was so hard to say goodbye, I bawled all the entire 45 min drive to our hotel. We miss them.
I want to share all the details of our journey to her and her placement in our family, the story starts long before we got that first e-mail from Amy and is full of miracles. I want to record it all for Brielle so she will understand why we chose the middle name Faith and know how much she is loved. It is all very emotional and fresh right now so it make take me a while and it may be in pieces but I'll get there so stay tuned.
