We've just re-connected with the wonderful family with whom we share Gotcha Day. Celeste found our blog through a mutual friend's blog so I thought I would post this picture of all of us to see if they catch it! lol
We feel so bonded to this family since we shared the biggest moment of our lives together. I'll never forget meeting Celeste at the lottery counter in the United concourse of O'Hare. After long adoption journeys, here we were at the end, both of us about to become mothers for the first time in the next 90 minutes. It was surreal and I was very thankful to them and their family for being so warm and welcoming. We were one big mob of very emotional people nervously waiting together.
In all of the excitement after our boys burst into baggage claim, we managed to get a couple of pictures of the six of us before we parted ways. However, Celeste and Tom were a little distracted with baby Doyle who was not totally on board with his new surroundings yet! :) Having looked at their blog, I can report that Doyle is having a lot of fun and is surrounded by people who love him.
I hope we have the opportunity to visit together in the future!

Wow, such a special bond you all share. It's wonderful you re-connected.
I get goosebumps and teary eyed reading the post!! Thanks for putting the picture on and the very thoughtful post!! I will save because we did not get any digital prints of this one. Poor Doyle was out of sorts that night but a lot has changed in 15 months!! It was an honor & privilege to share our Gotcha Day. Celeste, Tom & Doyle
