Spasi'ba {Spa See Ba} === Thank you!!

I want to take a moment to thank all of you for the support prayers and love that you've shared with me during this process to adopt. I know that it helped to keep the momentum going, and my dream to be a mom come true. I sit here in the Istanbul airport only two days from meeting my child and I reflect on how your words of wisdom and support, your prayers for guidance and safety, and your love have comforted me. What a great gift from all of you. My baby and I are coming home to a loving supportive community. We are so blessed.

    I can't wait to see pics and enjoy the wonderful city of Karaganda again through you...! It will always hold a special place in my heart. Enjoy your special bonding time with your little one!! (steer clear of the horse meat though :)

    Hi Tina, It's Tante Morie! For some reason, Carolyn can't leave you a comment......So I am leaving it for her.

    "Long ago, when I was a maternity nurse, I used to teach mothers in labor to visualize themselves carrying a treasure chest down a long hallway. When fatigue set in and they believed that they could no longer do it alone, I would encourage them to visualize their family and friends helping them to lighten the weight. Thank you for allowing us to share the beginning of your journey and your dream of motherhood. Peace, Carolyn"

    We are all sending our good wishes for you and the baby and have candles lit for you! Love Tante Morie.

    Wonderful news! It's so nice to share the experience with you. I'm so happy for you.

    We are living in Lithuania for 6 months....we are nearby! Only Russia lies between you and me. If you need anything, let me know.
