Our Travel Group

So far we know there are at least 10 families in our travel group. Almost immediately after our match appointment I called my friend and waiting buddy Dawn (same agency, same LID) to find out about her daughter and which travel group she was in. Imagine my glee when we found out we were in the same travel group and would therefore be traveling together! Yeah! It was like the day kept getting better and better.

My wait was over. My daughter was healthy, beautiful, and everything we could have hoped for. On top of it all, I already know and am friends with someone I will be traveling with? Wow! Awesome!

So I convinced her to start a Yahoo group for our travel mates and we have grown to the size we are now. Our babies are all from the same Social Welfare Institute (orphanage), and are within 2 months of age to each other. All of the women (the actual participants in the yahoo group) seem so nice, and so fun! I think we are going to have a great trip!

As a treat, here are a few pictures of some of Zoe's travel mates, published with their Mommies' permission. The best quote ever, was by the Mommy of the baby in the middle. After referrals started pouring in she said...
"Can you believe that they found so many beautiful babies?.... one for each
of us!! ;)"

Beautiful babies! What a great travel group you're going to have. I can't believe were going to be traveling in a few weeks to get our babies, I'm so excited! I went to the mall this evening and got some comfy pants for the flight can't wait to wear them.

Don't we have some cute girls? Yes, I am Mia's Mom, the one in the middle... I also count my blessing for a small, interesting travel group. From the conversations we've had so far, I feel SURE that we will have a great trip.... Thanks for posting, Georgia!!
