Free Baby FREE :)

Some seriously happy, giddy parents of 6 !!

This is the amazing beautiful room that we received our new birth certificate for Taya. The sweet lady played music and presented her new bc to us :) it was so sweet and touching.


    
Benji's favorite caregiver and his best friend :)

Bundled up and walking out to a life with a forever family :)
Taya was NOT happy to be changed :( she wanted me to hold
 her.
Mama and Taya in the car finally and never to see that HOT SAD, ROOM again! She was highly stressed and was doing alot of clicking and rocking. She worked herself up a bit getting changed . My heart broke walking out and past all the kids in her room I would never see again. I felt so sick and defeated like I had let them down by just walking out of their lives....and leaving them there. To fight to matter to someone everyday. To fight to survive , to fight to smile. To fight to be loved.

Hugs.

Great pictures Maria. Oh, so sweet to see them go, so darn painfully said to leave all of the others. I hate that. How can get all of them??

Wonderful photos! So so so happy the children are in your care now. I cried like a baby the day I brought the boys out of the orphanage. I really miss those other little sweeties. Who will sing to them now? *sigh*

Great to see photos of you and your kids "free." As my Guatemalan adoption did not involve an orphanage, I can only imagine how hard it was to leave. Safe travels home.
