Hi,
We're here and we have Yonas!! It is all very surreal and a bit crazy, but Yonas is doing great. He has a huge diaper rash, but is a very happy guy! Our flights went well, Dubai was VERY hot, 95 degrees at 8pm. Our hotel is really nice, with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath. Really roomy and perfect! One of our bags is still in Dubai and we are hoping that it comes tomorrow. We are traveling with 3 other families who have been fabulous. We all picked up our kiddos yesterday and it is amazing to see everyone united. The orphanages have a lot of sweet sweet kids that are tough to leave. They hold your hands, sit on your lap and just want a little love. It is heartbreaking! If you know anyone with adoption on their hearts, point them to Ethiopia. Well, our breakfast is here so I'm going to dig in. I'll write more tomorrow.
Love ya,
Mary

Hi there,
I just happened across your blog...and I love it! The pictures of your son are beautiful! CONGRATULATIONS!
As a 2x gestational surrogate, I have witnessed the hardships of infertility (if that is why you chose to adopt???), and can honestly say that I am thrilled for you and anyone else that's able to start their family through nontraditional means.
All I can say is YAY - and Noah can't wait to meet him!
Wonderful!!! You guys have been on our minds as this day arrived, knowing you'd be getting to hold your son for the first time!!! We are very excited and happy for your family!!!
Love,
Paula
We are soooo excited to finally see your family together!! Congratulations!

I have been thinking about you so it was SOOO wonderful to see this post this morning!!! I am so happy that you guys made it safely and finally have little Yonas in your arms! Can't wait until you make it down to Durango!
