The Mommies are Coming! The Mommies are Coming!

In August 2009, Matt and I decided that we were going to adopt a baby boy from Rwanda. Being the planner and researcher that I am, I immediately started researching all of the options and meeting new people along the way. One of the first people I met was Allie. She has become so special to me over the last nearly 2 years.

We have spent the last 9 months dreaming about the day she and her husband would come to Kigali to pick up their daughter and we could finally meet. As time as gone by, we were beginning to worry that I might be in the States while she was here.

But, Rwanda finally came through...

she is coming in 2 weeks!!! There is a whole group of AWAA families coming and so far I know 3 of them. I am so thrilled! I can't wait to meet these wonderful ladies face to face. And, I am so honored that I have been asked to come and photograph Gotcha Day for them.

Oh Happy Day!
