Kristen, you are so thoughtful. Thank you for this gift!
Some people heard about the amazing gift we came home to. My sister-in-law printed and framed 30 family photos while we were in Colombia and arranged them so that there were pictures of us with the girls in every room in our house. The night we came home, even though it was 1:00 in the morning, both Kelly and Monica walked through the house pointing to themselves in each picture and saying, “Yo, mami, papi, Kelly/Monica.” It made it seem like our house really was their house too, right from the start!
Here’s a slideshow of every single framed photo. If you know someone who is adopting soon, this is a great gift idea!
It warmed my heart to see all those pictures, too! Felt like the girls were always there! God bless you, Kristen!
