Hey everyone, just a quick update on our adoption – Liza and Asher are HOME SWEET HOME! After a total of 27 hours traveling by herself, I met her in Washington DC yesterday and flew the final 2 hours home to Florida. (I think Mama looks pretty good after all that!)
I’m happy to say that mama and son are safely adjusting to the time change and the change of scenery, and Liza hopes to post an extensive recap of her emotional journey soon. She’s just a bit tired right now. 😉
Thank you again for all the prayers and well wishes. We definitely felt them through the whole process!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
the is awesome news!! I am so happy for you! What a wonderful time for all of you!
Amazingly wonderful and inspiring story. I’m glad you’re all home safely and sooner rather than later.
So happy you all are home safe and sound. Liza you look great and very happy (mommy). Try to get some rest and enjoy your beautiful baby!!!
Hallelujah! Congrats Congrats, so happy you are all home.
The long journey has been worth the tears, ups and downs and all the in-betweens. Now your real job is just ahead of you and it’s one you were chosen to do. God bless you all. Congrats. Now get some sleep and just know that it takes adjustments for everyone – especially for a baby that has only recently known and learned what love feels like!
