I am just still so touched and amazed by your story. I am so overjoyed for you and your family right now that you have your precious Clarissa in your arms and now back home in the US too! I couldn't fight back the tears as I read your update. I know this whole journey as been such an emotional roller-coaster. But now it is real - you have a daughter, and she is gorgeous! I wish you and your family the best as you get settled into your new routines. I can't wait to read about the new adventures that are ahead.

I have a few Korean friends who were adopted as babies and I also have friends who have adopted Korean babies. I know everyone will adjust soon enough and it sounds like you're doing such a wonderful job to comfort your new daughter and to help her in her transition. I'm so glad you wrote about Korea as much as you did. It brings back so many memories for me. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874766608075767777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430184117446699410.post-22786643698883676912009-10-16T23:06:28.543-06:002009-10-16T23:06:28.543-06:00Yay!!

I am so glad she slept on the long flight home, what a blessing! I just knew that Josh and Matthew would be great "big brothers"! Enjoy your beautiful blessing and when you get a chance (we know you are super busy with your new daughter) but would LOVE to see a pic of Josh, Matthew and Clarissa!
