Well,if they had to wait 2 weeks,what a pretty place to wait.She is so pretty and looks like she has as much hair as your son-lol-I realize that you and they,have been through an emotional roller coaster.Very stressful,waiting,hoping nothing goes wrong,all the while praying for this.I am so happy for you and your family.May God bless this child and her new parents.According to your sons shirt,I would venture to say,he will raise her on the right path.Love to all-Toogie

Happy Easter to you and your growing family (private and cute)!
In earlier times I remember it was the stork who delivered the babies
but today it is the Easter Bunny! Many thoughts will be with you during the first days of her arrival, I am sure, and waiting for further pictures :-)

What great news. I am so happy for you all. Adoption is a very frustrating (and sometimes heart breaking - personal experience) process to go through, I am so glad it ended happy for you. Just look at that proud Dad! God Bless.
Have a wonderful, Blessed Easter.

Thank you. Yes, there have been heart breaking moments...but our son & wife have held close to the knowledge that God had a baby out there that needed them! Her birth mother had to have loved her very, very much to give her up to a loving family that could raise her as the birth mother wanted her to be raised! We will forever be grateful.

Wonderful news and a great Easter Present for you and the whole family. She looks so tiny here...or he's a BIG guy. They both look so content and she is at home in daddy's arms right were she should be. Bless all of you. Enjoy every minute! :) Leaha

She IS tiny! Her Daddy's not small, about 6', but he said she was really tiny!! Wonder if she'd fit in my Easter basket??

Leaha by Leaha 17 Apr 2014

I don't know but I know I'd sure try. I'm surprised they make cloths that small or is it doll cloths? I've never had any and they scare me when they are the size of a doll, I'm afraid I'll break them. I'm so very happy for you! :) Leaha

Being tiny: When I had my twin-daughters almost 20 years ago the smaller one (Monique) was 44cm long and had
a weight of 1860 grams and first days I really touched here most careful but now she's grown to 165cm/weight 60 kgs - so Carrie will carry on and become a big girl soon! Enjoy! She is such a little beauty
