We arrived home at 9:30pm to our three youngest children, Gabby, Vincent, and Angelo. Grandma and Grandpa Carr were here awaiting our arrival, as well as Aunt June. Shortly after we got home, my parents and aunt left to return to their home, three hours away. Dominic and Francesca were with friends, and both came home later in the evening.
For those of you that have seen "The Wizard of Oz," you are very familiar with Dorothy's words near the end, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." Perhaps our experiences do not equal those of Dororthy in the movie, but for us - travelling to Russia, meeting our new daughter, experiencing the Russian adoption proess first hand, and returning home - the long way - there truly is "no place like home."
We will continue to blog our adoption process so that others can share in our joy!
