Oh my goodness!! We leave in 27 hours to bring our daughter home!!!  I can't believe it's finally here. My mind is just racing and spinning. 
I humbly ask for prayers for our health, safety and patience during this time. I'm so concerned we're going to get some kind of bacteria and be so sick. I also have IBS and that's got me worried, too. 
Also for Hannah's little heart to be open to our love and comfort. I have this terrible fear of her just rejecting me completely.  I'm trying to prepare for the worst. In my mind I'm doing okay but my heart is another matter. 
Thank you all so much for sharing our journey and all the prayers and love you've shown us. You are a very special group of people.
God bless you all!!

Yay! This is so very exciting! We will definitely keep you all in our prayers....especially as Tuesday evenings we do a "pro-life" prayer so we'll definitely add this to our prayers!
Blessings and God speed.

Prayers for a safe and healthy journey and a beautiful reunion with your daughter. It truly is a reunion, for this is the child that God has made for You...it has been His plan since you were made.

Lisa, we will keep you in our daily Rosaries and offer our daily Memorare for you. I just have this feeling Hannah will fall in love with her new family quite quickly! Will definitely pray for that!
Saint Christopher and the Three Holy Kings, patron saints of travelers, pray for us!
