We are thanking God tonight for the addition of Laiya to our family! As you can see from the pictures, Laiya has been given a loving and welcoming family. Dave and Marva are thrilled to have another daughter and Laiya finally has the 'forever family' she had been waiting for. She is an adorable girl who already knows the names of all of her brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. It was a long day of travel - 28 hours! After being delayed for three hours in Tokyo, they missed their flight from Minneapolis and arrived at 9:20 instead of 4:30 this afternoon. But there were lots of smiles and hugs as the three of them arrived home.
Laiya's nieces and nephews are eager to welcome her.
