We are home!!!! We had the easiest travel home, even in coach for 14 hours. Just a few melt downs by Madeline but all in all very good. We only slept about 2 or 3 hours total but everyone did well until our flight was delayed only an hour, but that hour brought out bickering among kids and parents:) I think I whined as much as Madeline by the time we got on that plane!!
Last night was a little rough but to be expected. Janie was scared of her room and finally went to sleep in Madeline’s room. We had been advised by Madeline’s therapist to separate them for a while when we first get home, oh well!! She lasted until 1:30 and cried and cried. We finally ended up where we began the evening inthe first place, in her bed but she was not crying:) Poor baby. She would start breathing heavy, jerk awake and touch me to make sure I was there. I think we both finally fell asleep around 4:00. I got up at 10:00, Janie is still OUT!!
Thank you Courtney and Michelle for a great dinner and a wonderful homecoming!!! Thank you Carson and Kayley for the welcome home signs!!!!!
I will end by thanking my sweet husband for listening to me beg for this child and being willing to travel across the world to bring her home. Our Lord has blessed us greatly and we will forever be thankful for His grace and mercy upon us. He knew all along, we just did not. He promised me He knows what is best and I am amazed by the gift He chose to give us.
This verse has spoken to me throughout this past year to Sarah Jane.
1 Thessalonians 5:24
The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it!
That He did!!
Super impressed that you were coherent enough to download pictures and post without typos!!!! I love all of these pics.. But, how precious is Madeline showing her BFF her new sister!!! So proud!!!! And, seeing Janie in her beautiful room just made my day!!! Just remember, re-entry is HARD, but soon you will feel human again, and Janie will be feeling comfortable in her new world!!!!!
Welcome Home!!
Love,
Diana

Looking forward to being home. Glad you had safe travels!!!!!!
