Here she is........almost 4 years of waiting and planning.......5 flights (so far, 5 more to go)......half a world away I found my second daughter and she's absolutely perfect!!! She is so worth the wait...and she's my daughter, Ciera's baby sister and the newest member of our family.

Congratulations! I have been following your blog and am thrilled for you all! Love seeing the happiness in all your faces in the photos! I adopted my second child from Kaz last summer and applaud you for taking your daughter with you on your first trip! What wonderful memories you will all have!
Diane, we are so happy for you and Ciera to now (officially) be able to welcome Tienna into your family and your life. Congratulations to all of you - and we hope that the remaining steps are completed without any (major) complications.
But can we still call her Mr. Baby?
Diane, Congratulations! What a sweet little face! Wishing you safe travels on your next trip and a lifetime of happiness together!

Sara, I know some people have already said she will always be Mr. Baby, poor kid!! She will have her big sister to thank for that one!!!! No doubt she will also hate me for it when she is in her pre-teen years...lol
Congrats! I am thrilled to see the final outcome, photos and name and all! It has been a pleasure reading your blog daily Diane, thanks so much for sharing.

2 beautiful daughters - absolutely delightful. You do know you will have your hands full down the road with the boys knocking on the door don't you!!
So lovely to see photos of the 3 of you together. This has been a long journey for you. So happy to see things go so well........Tienna was definitely worth the wait - she is a doll baby (just like her big sister was!)
She is just beautiful! Congratulations Diane. I am so happy for you. I love the name Tienna too. Please share in a post how you decided on that name for her. I'd love to hear the back story to such a beautiful and unique name.
Congratulations! We remember your daughter coming into the Group 4 room this past summer, about 1 1/2 weeks before we left at the end of our first trip. I had hoped that her family would come find her soon, and I'm so glad that you did! Hope that everything goes smoothly on your second trip to bring Tienna home!
Congratulations! Two beautiful girls!
