Our Sweet Annalee

Our daughter has the most amazing Foster Mother, she cried when we left. Annalee is precious, but scared and sad right now. She has stranger anxiety, so it may take a few weeks to adjust to us. She is sleeping in my arms now.

    She is precious.....so precious!
    Ethan looks so proud---remind him not to completely spoil her on the way home =]

    oh that sweet, sweet GIRL!!! Even in her 'crying' photos she is absolutely beautiful! I will be praying for you all during this transition time, and I hope your flight home will be free of stress! ;)

    I'm so happy to see your daughter finally in your arms. It's hard to believe that when we first 'met' neither one of us knew who are children were... and now we're bringing them home.

    Much love to you as you start your life as a Mom of three <3

Congratulations, she's come a long way, but she is finally home w/ people that she loves who loved her even before she was born...God bless you, Nate and your Children; precious ones given to y'all by Our God who's name is more powerful than anything ever heard or seen; as we see Him do miracles through your family...Congratulations!!!!!

    Ellen, I am totally crying my eyes out! Annalee is a beautiful girl and it's so good to see her in your arms! We are praying for the remainder of your stay and your flight home. Ethan looks so happy and proud. Have fun bonding with that beautiful girl and be safe coming home!

    Ellen, I am praying for you and tearing up as I type this...I am so happy for you.

    So many people never fully understand the changes that children go through in the stages of grief. Know that I will be praying that God will lift you all up and put His arms around Annalee to give her peace during this transition. I am praying for strength for you, physically, mentally and spiritually. Lord please watch over this sweet family, give them peace as they begin their journey home. Amen~

    Wonderful to see you together. I hadn't checked in for awhile and was absolutely thrilled to see you in KOREA! We're hopefully right behind you by only a couple weeks. Blessings to you and your sweet children!!!

    Oh, she is so beautiful and those pictures are wonderful. They will speak such volumes for her when she is older, so she knows what the journey entailed. I am crying because that room and the scared baby was us 8 months ago, and now I have a happy, loving son. Congrats, so happy for your family. KDjackie

    Amelia teared up on the pictures of Annalee crying.
    In the pictures of you holding her in the carrier, she kept pointing at you and saying"There is her mommy, there is her mommy..."
    Cousins are all so excited and proud. Love ya,
    Devonne

    We are keeping an eye on that sweet little girl from the beach. Can you believe she is finally in your arms? Cherish each moment. I am sure she will adjust quickly...tomorrow will be a new day. (Or today for you). Thinking of you and praying you home safely. Will and Tasha and the rest of the crew!
