Today Craig and I took a half day and got all our paperwork done for Trip 2. YES!
They are now on the way to Albany to get apostilled. Another YES!
Now we wait to bring this little cutie home.
We have been finishing up Dagny’s room since we got home. Here is one example.
As Craig wrote in the previous post we are safely back home. It’s nice to be back in the comfort our home and especially our bed. But, a huge part of us was left back in Moscow. Our hearts are not the same as they were before October 28th. We met this little itty bitty girl that filled our hearts with love we never imagined. The hardest thing I ever had to do was say good-bye to Dagny as she fell asleep in my arms and I cried for the first time for my daughter.
The orphanage was nice enough to allow us to visit with Dagny in the morning for an hour before we left for the airport. Here are some photos from that visit.
We would like to thank everyone that took time out to follow us as we met our little girl. Thank you for all the wonderful comments. It brought us so much joy reading them from such a faraway place. Please don’t stop the comments or questions in the future. We look forward to reading them and answering all your questions.
We will be posting more photos and videos in the days ahead. We have many, many more to share with you all.
Love,
Barbara, Craig & Dagny
I just wanted to let everyone know that we had a safe trip home and all is well.
Log in for more details.
Barbara and I made our way home yesterday and everything went well. It’s so hard to believe that just yesterday we were in Moscow seeing our baby girl for the last time this trip. It’s such a hard thing leaving her behind. And Barbara and I can’t wait to go back and see her again and bring her home.
We don’t have all our pictures yet from yesterday but here’s one to tide everyone over.
Today we petitioned to adopt our Little Miss D and during that process we were asked to provide them her new given name. So we felt today would be the most appropriate time to share that info with everyone…
