On Friday, 7-8-16, Andrew and I took off from Chicago O'Hare, not really knowing how long we would be in Lithuania. We also weren't 100% sure we would be returning with Ben. The Lithuanian judge could deny the adoption completely or postpone and require a 2nd visit for us due to more investigation/processing needed.
So it was with hopeful but anxious hearts that we boarded that plane 3 years ago...leaving our other 4 children home, something we had never done before.

Stopover in Frankfurt
Our first glimpse of Ben EVER through the doorway into his groupa's room- so surreal and amazing! When we walked in the room, he came running to us saying "Mama, Dada." He was ready:)
We got to visit Ben on Saturday, 7-9-16, the day we arrived in Vilnius. Pleasant surprise! We thought we would have to wait until Sunday.
