Thank you so much for all of your amazing comments. My husband I have been reading each and every one of them and we are so touched at your kindness and support. We truly feel blessed beyond measure! Thanks for being a part of our miracle. 🙂
We found out that we will not be going home in time for Easter. We were of course disappointed, but we know that our boys are in good hands with my parents. They’re probably going to get double the candy. 😉 It’s not very fun living out of a hotel room with a brand new baby, but we are making the most of it. We really are enjoying our time with her. She is so, so precious and such a good natured baby.
We didn’t think we should post pictures until all the paperwork was signed, but it is now official, this little princess is OURS! So without further ado, here are some pictures of our sweet little princess. I think you can see why we are so enamored with her! We just can’t wait to take her home to meet her brothers!

She’s absolutely stunning! Words cannot express how thrilled I am for you. We survived infertility and created a family too, against all odds. I have some idea of the difficulty of the road. New babies are always exciting but a new adoption is a miracle several times over. I’m so very, very excited for your family!

Oh my! She is the most adorable looking baby. She is going to be blessed beyond measure and so will y’all and your boys. š
zevenster
I am very happy for you all!! She is adorable indeed!
I must say – I feel very sad for the mother, though… It must be such a wound in a mother’s heart to say goodbye to a child… She must be very sad and wounded these days…
We had adoptionplans once, and got pregnant, totally unexpected! We have our lovely boy now and decided to count our blessings. I can’t start to think how it must be to decide that somebody else will be a better parent for your baby.
When I was expectant adoption mother, I thought about that way too easy -“ofcourse it is best to give up a baby for adoption”… Now I know how arrogant I was about it.
I wish all babies best parents, but I keep hoping that one day human kind will be at a point where all mothers are best mothers and are best supported to fullfill their roll.
Untill then: thank goodness for loving adoptionparents and be happy with your little wonderbaby!!

I’m so happy, I’m crying tears of joy for your family! What a great Easter gift!!! What a great person to give a baby away to someone else to raise instead of some of the other options available. Adoption is incredible! Rachel is beautiful! I thrilled that you get to experience the fun of a baby girl! I will be checking in to hear more about your new princess!!!!!!!!!
