I am so very proud of you both in the long journey to get Genei. We pray for you everyday that God will keep you in his favor and is with you every second you are away from us. Enjoy each and every moment from the instance you leave Home to the second you step back into your house. Thank you for bringing back our 14th grandchild. Even though I thought 13 was enough, I am so very pleased you are making it 14. I feel so blessed with my 3 children and all of my grandchildren. My love goes with you and Todd on this wonderful journey. I know your mother Genny would be so very proud of you.
Love you bunches, Dad and Mom

Looking forward to your journey to Genie, I know the road has been long and full of bumps. God has seen you through and will continue to walk with you as you travel to bring you little daughter home to her new family. Be blessed on your trip!!
