We made it to Texas and Izzy did about as well as we could have hoped for on the plane. She fussed a little but ended up sleeping for about 2 hours on my nap which I never would have believed she would do.
Today we spend the afternoon with the birth family and what a wonderful day. We met for lunch by our hotel and then went downtown and walked around the riverwalk and then went to the tower of america's. They enjoyed spending time with us and Izzy of course! They showered her with lots of kisses and hugs. We got lots of great pictures and will enjoy sharing the story with Izzy when she is older. They both called us mom and dad several times. I felt a little sad for them when we left, I know they will miss her and I hope we can come visit again sometime in the future. They gave us a gift of 3 outfits for her so I will be sure to make sure I send them pictures of Izzy in them. I just look at these two amazing people that love Izzy SOOO much and can't believe they loved her so much that they entrusted her with us and know that we will give her such a good life. Words cannot even explain how much love and admiration I have for them both. We were so blessed with them. I was telling DH how lucky we are that we really truely got the dream birthparents! I am forever greatful for them and wish with all my heart that nothing but good things come their way.
Only one more step in this adoption story, GOTCHA DAY! I can't wait for Monday to make Izzy offically part of our forever family!
We forgot the camera cord for the computer but when I get home I will post pictures.

Wow. What state do you live in? How long do the birth parents have for changing their minds? That's one thing that makes me nervous about adopting...
I'm so glad your visit has been good so far. I can't WAIT to hear about Gotcha day. Hug that baby for us:)
