Absolutely! We used European Adoption Consultants, Inc. and it was a wonderful experience! We would definitely use them again! :)

That was painless unlike most adoptions I've seen babbies crying. But quiet room and hsndover just right.

Awe, he seemed to already know you. That’s really neat to see. It appeared he was also loved by his ayi. He sure is a handsome young man! I imagine you’ve all had so much fun making memories together. You are a beautiful family.❤️💜

+Kieren W -- I've watched your video several times and I just love it! Gabriel was so calm at the Gotcha meeting. He was so brave and took it all in stride. It's wonderful when the children seem prepared for the Gotcha Day. Less trauma and stress for everyone involved. It seemed he was shaking his little head "yes" in response to what sounded like his nanny asking him if he recognized his mama, or knew you were his mama from the little picture book. Would you please tell me where you got the little picture book made? It was the perfect size, in my opinion. Do you happen to have an adoption blog online that I could read? I love reading about the journey that brings parents and children together.

Gwen Hafford - Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed watching our journey in pictures. I do not have a blog but I do love following them as well. The picture book was just a baby album that I found at Target and filled with photos at home. I bought two and made them identical except added our names in Chinese to the one we sent to him ahead of time. Then I brought the duplicate with me on gotcha day. He definitely seemed familiar with it and our faces, which was wonderful. He came to us and never looked back, God brought us such a blessing in him!
