Hello from SF. We're finally home from our amazing, emotional, incredible, life changing journey to meet our son. What an adventure we've had and I can't wait to detail all the amazing things we did and experienced in the past fourteen days. I'm going to start off with the most important day - the day we met Lucas Dagmawi. In the next few days I'll go back and detail the trip starting with Day 1 in Dubai up until Day 12, when we left for home. I'm posting just pictures for now so you can see our beautiful guy! We are overjoyed and so happy!!!

So we assume the reason that you're waiting to compose a narrative of your journey is that you want to take the time to collect your thoughts and create beautiful prose. It couldn't possibly be that you're just a little bit tired. Jeff and Mom.
