The Paperwork is Done!

Five years ago today we filled out our first form to start our adoption journey, as fate would have it, today we are having our last post-placement report for Russia. The endless paperwork, the numerous fingerprints, the sleepless nights, the 12-hour plane ride with a toddler that was just getting to know us, the constant stomache of "what could happen" ... left me screaming for an epideral many times. But I wouldn't change a thing and who would have known that today we would have two beautiful girls, Grace Viktoria, our Russian dream and miracle and Amelia Catherine, a true gift of love. A lot of fate, magic and serendipity ... our forever family is complete.
