Lainie is happy to be finally ours !!! Isn't she adorable !??
Thank you to all of you who are leaving your comments. They make us feel not so far away from home! We are printing them off so that Lainie will one day know how many people were waiting and watching as she came home. A special thanks to Trey's homeroom class. Outside our hotel window we can see the playground of an elementary school. I'll try to take some photos of that tomorrow just for you.
We are counting down the days until we are home on the 24th!!!!
Keep up the praying. God has been so good to answer them !!!

There are hardly words to describe those pictures! Precious and such a testimony to God's faithness!!
Jennifer, I had to laugh at the hairbow! And, when Cecil saw the pictures this he said," she looks like a Barbee!!" Somehow, she truly does!!
Love to you all!

Congratulations on becoming big brothers and sister! I know that Lainie will love each of you. God has really blessed her to have a family like you. Not much longer and she will be home with you.
Lots of love,
Luke, Tammy, Anna, and Harrison
She is beautiful. I know you are just the most excited people in the world:) She really does look like a Barbee. I love the bow:)
Hi Lainie!
You don't know this yet, but you are such a lucky little girl to now have the Barbee family as your very own. Yes, they are lucky too of course. We look forward to meeting you soon. Hopefully we can have a group therapy session....your mom and dad will explain...and you will meet even more new friends. You need to ask your new mom if she still has that swing from group therapy.....YOU WILL LOVE IT! Roxie and Ollie can't wait to play! I'll bet your Aunt Cheryl will even let you play with Donna.
Hugs and Kisses, Tammy and Shane

Words can't express my joy for you. This whole experience has been awesome and I can't wait for you to share your faith journey with everyone.
I'm so glad that you all decided to create this blog. It has allowed me and so many others to follow along with you all these months and have Lainie be a part of our lives and love her as well. Thank you for sharing such a personal part of your life.
