Together Forever !!
We made it to Guatemala. We had only about 30 mins to spare and then a driver picked us up to take us to the attorneys office to get Isabella. It was so so so hard to watch her foster family say goodbye. \You could tell they were so deeply attached. Bella is having a hard time today with the transtion but we expected that. She just needs time to adjust again.
Updates will be short and sweet because \I didn't bring a laptop this time. I'll try to get some photos up very soon.
We made it though ! Isabella is ours forever!
We are SSSOOO happy and John it totally smitten with Bella. Every time she laughs at him or grabs his nose he just melts.
\More later...got to go check on my family.

So very happy to hear that you are all safe and together. I am sure that the pick up was very hard on everyone, it will just take time, I am sure she will adjust quickly. Hope Lucinda's scrapbook helped, I know she must have cherished it. I hope everything goes well tomorrow. So happy you are together!!! Love you...Mom

Bet it feels great to hold her again. Soon she will have that feeling for you too. Sad that she couldnt have already been with you and adjusted to you guys already but hopefully the system will keep children out of the hands of people who shouldnt have them.Congrats on finally reaching the end of this journey, now you can start the most rewarding one of all, being a parent. You guys will do great!!! Love ya Uncle Jamie`

Hi Janine,
I check your blog just about every day. I stumbled upon it, because we are adopting from Guatemala as well. It is so good to see that you have finally connected with your daughter. I hope you do not mind, but I put a link to your blog in our blog. You are welcome to visit it at beautifulbabyana.blogspot.com

Congratulations! Such a sweet baby! I would love to hear more about your adoption - we considered Guatemala before choosing China and now that we have Jaiden home are thinking about a sister...
