Elias Journey to go Home

Friday, April 21, 2006

Can you help me rally some to celebrate.

As you know my daughter and son-in-law ave adopted a baby girl from Mexico. They have several friends and family of course who have been supportive along the way, and also at times frustrated at how l-O-N-G this takes, why there is "no news" for long perieods of time etc. I am wondering two things...If You would go to the BLOG post linkedbelow if you are reading this...AND If you would ask others rom the International Adoption Community which you know to also go to this link. Because they did an independent adoption as they were only a few miles from the orphanage where Elia was left, they did not have access to a group of people to celebrate this part with the kind of understanding that you have. Thanks to anyone who will take the time to help them to celebrate. If you leave some kind of contact info I am sure when they get rested up you will hear from them. If you are not comfortable leaving contact info then just let me thank you now for joining our celebration. I won't be going away i will be joining your celebration as well!!!
This is a surprise BLOG entry. They have no clue I have put this on their BLOG today.

here's the news and the link.



They left San Diego about 11 am California time and are expecting about an 8hr drive.

I have put a surprise slide show on the BLOG site sharing some of the memorable spots along the way. You can see her from age 2 weeks to 10 months...and watch as differnt "small hurdles" get crossed. leading up to this day . Pray for a safe arrivel and a wonderful first weekend in their home as a family.

If you don't know Elia's journey OR want to reminisce with us just a bit, take a peak. This takes you directly to the slideshow post.

Remembering our journey
