So I meant to include this in my post earlier but in the chaos of today I forgot.<\/p>\n

There are quite a few people that I need to thank who made this whole thing possible.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the beginning- Sweet Erin at our adoption agency who was always there for me, to hold my hand through this crazy process, leading me to Jane- our other adoption “go to” who couldn’t have made this an easier process. Thank you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The next thank you goes to my dear in-laws, who stepped up with a big fat loan that made this all possible. We were down to wire and without you, Eva wouldn’t be here with us. It’s that simple.<\/p>\n

With that I should also thank the banks that loaned us the money to fund this adoption that ended up costing us way<\/em> more than anticipated.<\/p>\n

Thank you goes out to my mom, who came to stay with the boys when I was in Utah. And my dad, who survived without her.<\/p>\n

My good friend Lynne- who stepped in last minute to watch the dogs so the boys could come see me on Mother’s Day. And for covering LAX rides.<\/p>\n

My good friend Julie, for taking Cole and picking him up from pre-school when they wouldn’t release him to my mom.<\/p>\n

To Aimee for keeping the biz going while I was away- and for continuing to take on more while I settle back in.<\/p>\n

To Victoria’s Secret for being adoption friendly. Who would have thought.<\/p>\n

To my husband- seriously, they don’t come any better than him.<\/p>\n

And last, all you blog readers that offered me encouragement, it kept me going.<\/p>\n

Now it is back to work- lots of bags to make and sell to pay off our huge debt.<\/p>\n

But she is so worth it!<\/p>\n
