THE BEAST TRAVELS EAST!!!

After 2 months, 11 days, and 16hrs. of compiling our dossier to adopt Nadia, it is now on its way to Eastern Europe! I can't tell you what a relief it was to hand this package over to this sweet UPS lady and have her share in my excitement (she LOVED seeing the picture of Nadia) as we take this HUGE GIANT STEP toward our daughter!!!

THE BEAST IS GONE. I REPEAT. THE BEAST IS GONE!!!
