That's right! We're confirmed to meet Baby Jill on July 1st! We'll head to Moscow this Saturday! Whooo Hoooo!
Her identity is now a mystery. One of the many challenges of international adoption are bumps (sometimes boulders!) in the road. Apparently, the sweet little face we've carried around in our hearts for the last few days will not be available as her paperwork isn't quite in order. So, we'll travel blind, as we'd expected, and look forward to meeting our little girl next week.
This blog goes private ASAP (meaning as soon as I can get my two little ones down for quiet time today). That allows us to continue to share with our friends & family the upcoming Journey for Jill!
Absolutely cannot believe this is happening so fast! More from Moscow!
