YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm so excited for you all! Can't wait for big updates when you are home!
Congrats, love her love her love her and be patient it takes alot of time. More time then you can imagine, those boys, her brothers, are going to be her lights and loves! Come on home girl!
Congratulations! I'm praying for you and your family- safe travels home!
YEAH!!! Isn't it the BEST FEELING EVER?!!!! I am so excited for y'all. Praying that the trip home would be easy!!
Congrats! I've been following your journey and just want to say how excited I am for you. Also, as one who brought home a 16-month-old in September, the decisions you make for Sydney and for your family are YOURS to make. I hate that you have had criticism on that front and I know how hard it is when people (even people we love dearly) just don't understand. Let the comments of encouragement and support sink in, and try to let the others roll off. I know I've had to.
Sydney will stop screaming, she will learn to love you, and it WILL get better. In the mean time, the decisions you make ARE the best! Good luck!
Kristi and family,
PRAISE the LORD!! I am so excited for you all. Adoption is very close to my heart and pray that one day I will be able to do the very same thing. I look forward to meeting Sydney and in time when she's ready, we will love having her a part of Capshaw Kid's Company Preschoolers!
Praying for your safe trip home!
In Him,

Congratulations. Know you were indeed prayed for this morning. And, I'll continue praying for your family... Our guy was 21 months old coming home and while it IS awesome, it AIN'T easy. Be confident. You are the parents now. Pray often, then go with your heart and your gut, despite what casual onlookers may say. You do (will) know what's best for your family. -T
Alan and Kristi, I am so excited. Mother and Daddy had tears in there eyes when Karl called after getting your Email that it is finally over and you guys are truly a completed family. I can't wait to love on my precious niece that I have waited for two years to hold and love. Alan, since the day you babysat Amanda I have wanted you to have a daughter to wrap herself around your pinky. I know you two are chosen from God to love this child and the two very special boys back home in AL. I love you "all five of you"!!!!

Awesome news! A family at last! Safe travels home and can't wait to see your post from home with your precious little girl enjoying her room.
Hang in there with the bonding. It's hard for all of you, keep the faith that it will happen. Meanwhile, just keep trying. (((HUGS)))
Kristi, YAY!!! I agree with the prior poster, Lauren. Yes, she will love you -- it may take a few months, but she will love you for the wonderful mother that you are. God Bless. Bring that baby home!!! Ellen, your sayaxche friend (home with my daughter since Jan 2008)
Yeah! Home for Thanksgiving, what a wonderful present.
Don't you just love the Embassy? We were there four hours in Feb, two poopy diapers, spit-up, and a crying fit. Ah, yes, I don't want to relive that.
Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth forever. I think that says it all. His plan, His time, His love -it's all there for you now.
Can't wait to meet your whole family in person soon!
Ann S.
Oh Kristi...I can't believe the day is almost here! You are about to come home - WITH SYDNEY!!!!! Praise the Lord. Please know I am praying for you and your entire family - OF FIVE!!!!!
Hugs,
Erica
YEAH - so happy for you that the adoption is finally complete. Now you can get on with being a family together under the same roof! I hope your travels are smooth and safe.
Yippy Skippy and a big Roll Tide! That gurl is comin' home! On emore sleep and you will be back here. I hope your SVT is settling down, that you are seeing Sydney turn a corner now that whe has been with you for so long. I will be praying for a safe and uneventful trip home. I will pray that Sydney will have peace, as well as you. She will sense your moods and react accordingly (you knew that), so just let it all roll off your back tomorrow.
CONGRATS!!!!!
Congratulations! I'm so glad your long journey is nearing its end. It will all work out in time. Safe travels home
Woohoo! I can't imagine all you've been through on this trip.
