We finished up the last of our paperwork this afternoon with a return to the place it all began - the Ministry. We signed our name for the last time and were given many blessings and wished a safe flight home. Then it came time to say goodbye to J. We have been with J. and D. for our 3 trips and have become very attached. Even Jaxon has become attached to J. in less than one week. I did not cry, but it was definitely emotional. Jaxon gave her kisses and he seemed to know that he was saying goodbye. J. and D. have made this adoption journey amazing. They hold a special place in our hearts and we will miss them greatly. J. even called us again tonight to let us know just how special we are to her too. We hope to see her on one of her trips to the States. And she gave us some great news...D. is driving us to the airport, so we will get to see him again on Saturday!
No luck on getting out tomorrow on the Delta flight, it is full! So we will finish up our souvenir shopping, take a dip in the pool, and leisurely pack our things.
This eveing we met our new friends M. and K. in the concierge lounge again. They had court in Moscow City today for their second daughter. Our kiddos are all around the same age and it was fun to share stories and experiences. We went out and grabbed dinner with them also. We hope to hook up this summer sometime at the Jersey shore with all 4 kiddos!
So, one more day here and then our journey home. This Easter will be sooo special, as it is the beginning of our lives as a family of four - I can not wait! So looking forward to introducing Jaxon to Luca and the rest of our family. Jaxon is just a sweet, sweet baby and it is an honor to be his parents. I can't wait to watch him grow and change.

Congratulations on signing your name for the last time! I know that felt good. I'm really looking forward to that moment!
Sorry you couldn't get an earlier flight. I know you're ready to be home with him at last.
It will be a very special Easter. A lot to celebrate!
