Officially introducing. . . .
Alexis Rayna RiebenWe are still working to finalize travel plans, but it looks like I will be returning to Bulgaria to bring her home the first week of January! I can't think of a better way to begin a new year! Once she is home we will FINALLY be able to move forward, full speed ahead, with Gage's adoption as well, so this day was a pivotal day in the lives of many! Once again, we are humbled and grateful for our Heavenly Father's continual outpouring of blessings! Our sweet little girl is finally coming home!

yay! congrats!!!
yay!!!! Congrats! She is just adorable! How long since your 1st trip? I can't remember if I cyber-introduced us or not ;o) We are adopting a little girl from Bulgaria, we are headed on our first trip in 5 days.. this Saturday!!! We also have two boys home from Russia. I'll be keeping up on your blog and dreaming of our future at the same time! She looks so happy!!!
Oh, if you don't mind sharing. We would LOVE a large family but it takes quite a while to save up money for adoption fees. Do you have any suggestions, what is your way of saving up? Look for something creative that I haven't heard yet and it looks like you have lots of practice!
Valerie,
