My adoptive friend Lauren (How the Bush Grows) has just received the magic call that we all wait for and will be traveling very soon to bring their precious daughter home. In anticipation of their trip, she posted this inspiring video which captures Seoul in 30 seconds. It gives me goosebumps to watch and know we will be there soon!!!
One Mommy. One Daddy. Two brothers. Four hearts who waited so long for our sister and daughter to come home. And now our wonderful family is finally complete!
