Wow! I am absolutely thrilled to see that Sydney is FINALLY coming home. I am so happy for your family. I know it has been way too long and your patience has been tested. I cannot believe it has been a almost a year since we first met in Guat. God bless, Sydney and your family.
Love,
Frances & Rosalie
She is BEAUTIFUL and the picture of the 2 of you brought tears to my eyes! Can't wait to see ALL of your family together!
