My Final Post On Our Journey To Jaden...

Our Journey to Jaden is complete. 

We have traveled to Jaden's homeland and brought her home.  This particular chapter in our lives has come to an end, but a new journey has begun. 

It is now time to replicate this journal on CD and in book form for our three children to keep. 

If you're interested, feel free to join us at our new blog address:  http://journeytojaden.typepad.com/smith_family_journal/.  Currently, the blog is without a login and password.  However, we will be securing it in about a week.  Please email us for the login and password for the account.

Thank you again for all of your love and support through these past months.

Love,

Scott, Traci, Valerie, Kevin & Jaden Smith

I found my way over here, just jumping from blog to blog! Actually I think directly from Erika's blog....don't know her, But I visited her site and found your link! Jaden is precious! We have talked about adopting off and one, at the moment we're considering fostercare for a while with the possiblity to adopt....I'll be back to read more when I have time!

I would appreciate very much the chance to follow Jaden and everyone else in the Smith family.

Thank you Smith family for allowing all of us to follow this incredible journey with you. We love you all so much. This blog has really given me a chance to follow what is going on in your lives. With all of us having our own families and our own daily lives it has helped keep me in tune to your lives. Thank you for sharing so much, it wasn't just the journay to adoption is was also a journey into your hearts. I can't express how much I've grown to know Traci in a totally different light.
Love you very much!

I can hardly express how sad and yet happy I am that this part of the journey is over. As grandparents, this blog has been priceless to us. It has provided us the opportunity to love and bond to our Jaden even before we actually met her in person. It also kept us close to all of you as you took us on this amazing journey with you. Thank you so much.

A very special thanks to Scott, Valerie, and Kevin for their generosity and love, for the opportunity for us to actually get to have Mommy & Jaden come to visit us for over a week. We know how difficult that must have been for all of you. Mommy & Jaden were such a blessing to us during Grandpa's illness. Their support and love has meant a great deal. We are looking forward to seeing you all in December. Thank you again, we love you very much.

Love,
Grandma

Hi, What a great memoir for Jaden. I'd love to follow along if that is ok?

What great teeth she has. Olivia cut 4 upper teeth and I can't wait to see what she looks like with them all in!
