March 11th will forever be....

The BEITLER Family Day!!!! It will remain in my heart forever. The day my family was complete. The day that five of us are under the same roof. I am on cloud 9 .... My baby is coming home. Juliana hold on, it won't be long now!!!!!

My heart goes out to her fostermother. Her heart is probably aching right now. I just can't imagine holding a baby for seven long months, to have it taken away. And while I am sure she knows that Juliana has a loving family waiting for her, I am also sure that doesn't ease the pain. I know that pain all too well. It is real and it is deep. I hope so much that time eases her pain. I can NEVER thank her enough for taking care of my little girl. Thank you, thank you!

Details.... rumor had it that phone calls from our agency came before 11:00 am. So at 11:00 am this morning, I lost it. I broke down in hysterics. So badly that my poor Joey thought that I was hurt. I explained that my heart hurt because I missed Juliana and he asked "Is Juliana hurt?" I think I was crying so hard that the only reasonable thing was someone was hurt. I decided to pick myself up the floor and start cleaning. I was cleaning and that didn't help so I sat down to write an email to a friend I had met on an adoption forum, I got the screen up and my phone rang. First, I thought it had to be my sister. Lauren knows not to call before 11:00 am so I figured she was waiting until after. I look at the caller id and it reads my agency's name. I start sobbing. I answer the phone and the receptionist ever so calm says "C would like to talk to you". C gets on the phone and I am sobbing even more saying "C, it feels like I won the lottery". C explains that she got the call at 2:00 am with the time change, and did consider calling, but decided against it. I told her that I was hapy she didn't, I'd be up all this time celebrating :)
She told me that Juliana's plane will be landing at 6:53 pm on Wednesday 3/11 at JFK airport. She is coming over with two other babies. I didn't get the age of the boy, but the little girl is 10 days younger than Juliana :) Their families are in Massachusettes and Upstate NY. I am to report at the airport one hour earlier to go over somethings with the agency's representative.

We are welcoming anyone that wants to come to the airport to do so! This is such a special moment, and we want to share it with our friends and family!

I can't wait to tell Carmela...Joey is excited, but I know nothing comopared to what Carmela will be!!! SHE's COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
