Hi Terri,

Allie is absolutely beautiful and she has a wonderful spirit. She has a very even temperament and we were pleasantly surprised at how much she enjoyed bath time. She basically slept through the night and woke up only twice two of the nights and once the other night. Her smile and giggles are infecting and it's obvious that she's receiving great care from her foster mother.

The hotel was first class as you said it would be. Our coordinator was a tremendous help translating our conversations with Sonia and bringing us to the local grocery store the first evening for supplies.

We had a chance to meet several families while we were there, some on their visit trips and some on their final "We're Going Home" trips. It was great to share experiences with each other and to compare notes about where we are in the adoption process. Based on some of the things we heard, we are very comfortable knowing that Grace international is handling our case.

Attached is a photo from our trip. If it looks like we love her very much, you are correct!

Liz and Jim Chandler
