Spending time at Disneyland as part of our trip to finalize Lorelei's adoption was so great. It was the perfect way to show Lorelei how wonderful she is and how happy we are that she is our little girl forever. She fully understood what was going on and that we were celebrating the fact that we get to be her forever family.
It was doubly sweet for us because it was literally Christopher's last days with us before he was to be gone for months. After enlisting in the Army, we knew he was leaving, but really there's no great way to prepare for that. We soaked up every moment of family time we could. Being at Disneyland was perfect! Even more perfect was the fact that John, Alex, Mom and Dad could be there too. On to top even that off, my whole family lives right there and spent a few days with us as well. One more example of how blessed we are to have so much love and support for our family. It was truly a wonderful week and perfect for making our last week together less bitter and more sweet.
