Our "Gotcha Day"



After two glorious days with our adoptive birthparents it was time to say good-bye. There were many tears and we will never forget the 2 days we were able to spend with them at the hospital.

Bryon and I met their wonderful families and were able to share a weekend with the 4 people who love her most - her birth and adoptive parents.

At 9:52 on July 5th, Lauren Elyse Thomas officially became our daughter. The journey has been long but so worth the wait. Words simply cannot express our joy!
