Full Circle!!!

Last night we attended a very special party. As you may remember, when we were waiting for Jae-min to come home we joined our agencies waiting family support group which met once a month. This is where we met the families of Allie and Ryan, both adopted from Korea and now our families remain friends and we love to get together. But, I digress.... Last night our agency decided to host a reunion party since now everyone has their babies home!!! There were about 25 families there and the room that once held such heartache and sorrow over the long wait was filled with laughter, smiles, hugs, and joy!!! There were children home from China, Korea, Ethiopia, and Guatemala. Looking around the room was amazing. Every family that we had met in this group had their child home!!! What a feeling. We had fun catching up with everyone and they were excited to see how well Jae-min is doing. We also had fun visiting with Allie and Ryan and their families. Its always a good time to talk to others who totally get what you went through. 'And Jae-min decided to look dapper in hopes of catching Allie's eye...haha
The funny news was that out of 25 families, we're the only family currently in process again. Hmm, do they know something we don't know?
Unfortunately they have stopped this group so we won't be able to join as we wait for KB too. That saddens me as we would love to meet up with others this time around.
It was an awesome night full of hope.....a night to finally fill the circle!!
*I did not post any pics of the other children as I did not get permission from their families to do so....but let me tell you that was a room full of cuties, very special children*
