We left for Ethiopia to bring home our son on June 25, 2010. On June 27th, we held him in our arms for the first time. Daddy-o chose to stay home with our 3 little ones (ages 5, 4 and 1) to make the transition for everyone smoother–and my sweet mom and sister traveled with me to fix bottles, take pictures and lend a helping hand. We returned home on July 2nd and were united as a family at the airport…FINALLY! We created a slideshow to document our journey to our son…to remind us often of God’s faithfulness along our journey and to encourage others also following His call to grow their families through the miracle of adoption…
