Your posted family picture is so amazing. Happy Happy Happy for you all! You were meant to be Orli's mommy and daddy. Of that there is NO question! Happy you were able to get her nap, but sleeping a full night??? You won't get that for many years...but, they go very quickly so appreciate it each time you walk to hall to her room in the middle of the night. I just can't say enough, how very happy I am for you! congratulations mommy and daddy! Parenting is the most precious and dear thing I can imagine being entrusted by G-d to do. <br />from our hearts to all of yours!

Your story is such a beautiful example. All the waiting and all the pain and now Orli. WOW -- she is truly gratitude in the flesh. Howard and I are just overjoyed for everything you are experiencing and for the life you will begin when you get home. We can't wait to meet her. Safe travels and much love.

What a wonder...Mazel Tov on your Chai Anniversary! What a wonderful anniversary gift you have. Hearing that Orli is not much of a nap taker reminds me of Meryl. She was also not much of a nap taker. She was afraid she would miss something and only liked to nap if you bounced her the way her foster mother did in Korea.
