Welcome Home Silas!

What an incredible afternoon. I was able to witness the Bogard's coming home with their baby boy Silas. They are using the same agency as us, AGCI. She emailed me about 2 weeks ago and told me that they would be flying into the Indianapolis airport and asked if I wanted to come. I have been counting down the days ever since!

They have two daughters and they just couldn't get enough of Silas. Watching them would make a grown man cry. Another neat thing is that LOTS of people would just stop and watch, grinning from ear to ear. Others would come over and ask questions.

As soon as Angie saw me, she told me she was able to get lots of pictures of the girls. I immediately started to cry. After you receive your referral, you rarely receive anymore pictures from the agency. If you get pictures they will come from traveling families and it just priceless. She also told me that the girls are as sweet as can be.

I am not going to post pictures of Silas, but he is just adorable! You will have to check out their blog. I am sure they'll have pictures up in the near future.

Here are the boys holding a sign that Angie's girls made.


Thank you for inviting me Angie. I will never forget it!

I am loving reading your story, and I know that court date is going to come soon! It is so special to get the chance to adopt siblings, and I feel you on the "girl" thing. ;)

I cried reading your post about your visit to the airport. I am gearing up to watch my sister's kids when she and her husband travel to China in 3 weeks, and I just can't wait to pick them up at the airport. I remember coming home with the boys, and that moment is so special in my heart.
