We left for Lithuania on 7-8 and came home to Wisconsin on 7-21. Our entire trip was only 13 days which is amazingly short compared to other adoption stories we have heard. The Lord really blessed us by having things go very smoothly and efficiently so we could come home quickly.
Ben was an amazing traveler coming home. You would never had guessed this little boy had never flown on an airplane. He handled the hustle and bustle and lack of sleep in an incredible way!
It was such a relief when we finally walked into our house. We are so thankful how the Lord kept us safe in our travels and our 4 kids safe while we were gone. Lots to be grateful for!
Ben became an American citizen when his feet hit the ground in Chicago
He hardly slept during the plane ride but fell asleep very quickly once we got on the road home from Chicago.
We were met with 2 rainbows as we pulled into our cul de sac. Quite symbolic, right?
Ben hardly woke up for his "big reveal" to his new sisters. It still was a powerful moment bringing him into his new home to meet his new family!
The next morning Ben and Jonah met for the first time!
And finally later that day, Stephen met his new brother.
What a joy to have our whole family together again!
It's been an amazing year!
