There is so much I have to say - but not enough time right now! But so far our trip has been amazing and Allie is an absolute delight! We all fell in love with her instantly and she just loves the boys. She laughs out loud whenever she sees them - and I haven't stopped smiling all day.
Allie is a chunky monkey - and I think it's safe to say that the foster mother fed her well! Allie seems healthy and is so alert. She is a dream come true!
I'll update more later - but for now I will leave you with pictures of our beautiful daughter! These are some of my favorite from today. . .
She loves being thrown up in the air - just like all my boys have! And she is quickly becoming a Daddy's girl! :)
Isn't she beautiful?? She truly takes my breath away!
Kyle reading to Allie - she loved it!
Feeding Allie for the first time! What a special moment.
It already feels as if Allie has been a part of our family forever. We are overwhelmed tonight with thankfulness, with love and with JOY. And we are praising God for such a beautiful daughter. It is such a privilege to be her Momma and I'm thrilled beyond words. God is so good and when I look at her I see His grace shining through!
Thanks so much for praying for us - your prayers were certainly felt by all of us today.
PRAISE GOD - ALLIE IS COMING HOME SOON!
With a heart filled with joy,
Heather & Family

Love the pictures and all the smiles. I cried just reading your update and REALLY cried looking at the pics! Thanks so much for the update. Feeling so full of joy tonight that Allie is now with her forever family. I know there's some serious booty-shaking going on in heaven tonight :-)
She is absolutely precious and beautiful. I am so happy for your family. The smiles on all those faces show the love. Thank you for sharing that with your readers. I know Jacob is looking down and smiling on his family.

Allie's little sleeper with the frogs was so cute and proved that Jacob was right there with you on this special day.
God Bless~
What a beautiful little girl! So glad she is finally in your arms!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow - the blessing of a precious, beautiful daughter! I know I speak for so many when I say how thrilled I am to see all of you loving on your precious girl. I'm not surprised that Allie is loving the smiles and laughter of her brothers. I pray that all goes very smoothly for you as you prepare to bring your sweet daughter home. May God's love and support surround you always. With love, Lynne B.
OH MY GOODNESS!! Allie is so incredibly beautiful!
Dear Duckworth Family ~
The pictures you have just posted along with your joyous journal entry have put such a whopping glorious smile on my face, and left my heart justa gigglin' away. You all look so, so happy.
And there's a little boy sitting with God tonight who is looking down on you all an saying, "Isn't my family AMAZING, God?" (And I'm 100% sure that His answer is, "Yes, Jacob, your family is AMAZING, just like you are.")
God bless you all.

All I can say is congrats that is so awesome I am sitting here with tears in my eyes for you. I am so Happy for you. Time to bring that sweet baby home.
I am almost speechless but obviously not totally so! The pictures say it all - the joy - the love - all is so evident. Enjoy this time for it, as well as all of you, are so precious!
I'm tempted to tell you to have a safe journey home but that's somewhat redundant for you all have such a special angel guiding your way!
Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. You have no idea what hope and joy you have offered!
She is a cutie!!! So happy for you! Wow...I counted 4 different outfits in those pictures. Looks like someones REALLY happy to have a little girl to dress up!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Once again I am crying at work. Im so excited for you guys and cant wait to bring our LynnMarie home from China..Have a great trip!
I am so happy for your family. Allie looks so content and at home with her family. Daddy looks like a natural with a little girl. The picture of Momma feeding her little girl and Allie's little ankles crossed shows us all how comfortable and well adjusted she has become. I am praying for your family's safe return home but especially for Allie's wonderful foster mother as this has to be a very bittersweet time for her. She is truly another angel on earth.
Congratulations!
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate through the next days, and then bring your precious daughter HOME!

Hi Heather, Donnie and family,
CONGRATULATIONS on your beautiful little girl. She is gorgeous! I can't say I blame you for doing her nursery in pink...that would be my choice too after having 3 boys and so far 4 grandsons!:)
I love the smiles on all of your faces, you are truly a beautiful family and I know one amazing little boy is watching over all of you with a BIG smile on his face:)
God Bless,
love and hugs,

The lord loves little children and sees them as blessings. How wonderful that he has chosen your family to recieve such a wonderous gift. And what a blessing for this precious girl to grow up in a family who will teach her of God's unfailing love.
Congratulations. True blessings and happiness your family deserves.
She's beautiful!
She is so beautiful! I loved her little outfit, the one that says worth the wait, its perfect. I can't wait to see more pictures.
What a beauty. Congratulations and all the best.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Your post and the pics bring tears of joy. I am so happy for your family and thankful that God is still faithful.
Allie is beautiful! I love those healthy baby rolls! It's as if Allie already knew you were a family - the love in each of your eyes is abundant!
My daughter had the pink frog outfit - one of our favorites - and I used to think of Amazing Jacob every time she wore it. Allie looks so good in PINK!!! Good thing - I'm sure there will be a lot of it!
We've been thinking and praying for you all week and finally have a chance to post. We are excited for the newest little Duckworth. Congratulations!!! May God continue to bless your bonding time together and give you safe passage home.

God is good! She is an absolute angel. The picture of you feeding Allie brought me tears. I wish you all a safe flight home. Thank you for letting me be a part of this journey.
We are so happy to see Allie with you at last. She seems so happy! What a joy for all of you. We know Jacob is smiling as big in Heaven as the rest of us are down here! Congratulations!

I cried while reading your post and looking at your photographs. I am so happy for you. It really must be a dream come true. Allie is so fortunate to have such a loving family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I met you through your website, when you were along with you family walking in the darkness of death.
I saw how the Lord carried you during those horrible times, when you said good-bye to your Amazing Jacob.
I have seen you grieving but at the same time giving. I have seen you receiving Grace from God, every time that you heart breaks for missing Jacob so much.
I have witnessed how you and your family have chosen joy. Now I see how God has put on your arms the most beautiful baby girl. He knows that you will be faithful and you will take care of her. I am so happy to see you smiling in these pictures. It is your reward for being faithful. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to allow us to be part of your joy.
Blessings

What a beautiful baby girl you all have now..She has belonged to you forever..Look at that smile I had not seen such a toothless wide smile in any of her other pictures. I'ts almost as if you she her smiling and saying "What took you guys so long!"
I am so happy for you all I keep coming back to the site just to look at her chubby little face and all of your smiles...Jacob you did a great job watching over your new baby sister!
What a wonderful gift from God (with Jacob at his side).
I'm going to have to get my daughter to look up your website. They have been trying unsuccessfully to have a 2nd child - I think a little "Allie" in our family would be wonderful.
Janet in Iowa
I am so, so happy for you. Allie is gorgeous and I hope she brings you all lots of joy and happiness.

What a beautiful family! I can't get over how happy Allie looks. I can't imagine a baby that age adjusting and accepting a new family so easily. It does seem that there was some divine intervention in this adoption. I'm sure Jacob is smiling along with all of you. May God bless your whole family. I hope you will always be as happy as you are now.
Oh, those pictures are just beautiful!!!
I am so happy for you guys and I know Allie will be such a blessing to you like you will be to her:)

Oh she is absolutely beautiful--and pink is definitely her color!!! YAY! She is obviously a baby girl who has received lots of tender loving care while waiting for her Mama and Daddy and big brothers to take her home, and that makes me so happy for all of you! Such a bright future for the wonderful Duckworth family; I imagine a huge, beautiful smile on Jacob's face, with those baby blues twinkling, seeing how happy his family is!

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I have been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for this day!!!! I am so happy for you guys that I can't adequately express it with words.

She always looked happy in the pictures they sent to you but she looks extremely happy with her brothers, mommy and daddy!!! You can already tell that she LOVES her brothers. They will keep her so entertained. Her belly is always going to ache from laughing at them. She is going to be so spoiled and I can't wait to watch it happen!!!! She is just a beautiful blessing from God. He knows what an amazing family you guys are and knew you were the perfect family for Allie. The only family for Allie! I just could not be happier right now!!! Enjoy her, cherish her, love her right down to her chubby little rolls and kiss, kiss, kiss those pretty little lips.

I already left one message today, but I just had to leave another. I had a pretty rough day. I had started the day with prayer and pictures of Allie with her family. When things were hard, I just thought about the pictures you posted today, and I had to smile. You guys are amazing and I am so overjoyed to see the pure joy on your faces.
What beautiful pictures. I am so happy for you all. Congratulations to your wonderful family, :o)
God Bless
I think I have come back ten times today just to see how happy everybody is and what a gorgeous baby Allie Patricia is ! It just makes me feel good all over - that baby in her frog pj's - has got to go into one of her new frames on her chest in her room, she IS a little princess, and SO happy with her family, as though she has waited and waited for you to come pick her up.
Just savor every moment . . .

I am so overjoyed to know that you are with Allie and are bringing her home very soon! What an incredible blessing she is to your family. All the pictures are great but the one of you and the boys feeding Allie is so heart-warming. Allie is so lucky to have such a great family to call her own.
I can wait to watch Allie grow up through all of the pictures and stories you will have to share. I felt like I got to know Jacob via the CaringBridge website and he will always have a special place in my heart even though I never met him in person. I am sure he is smiling down on all of you knowing he had a hand in this precious gift you have been given.
Have a safe journey home!

Heather, Donnie and boys,
I just sit here and smile as I read your entries and see all the beautiful pictures. What a lucky little girl Allie is to have been chosen to be part of your family. I know you all feel blessed as well. Jacob is watching over all of you and knows the joy you are feeling. You deserve it all. May God continue to bless you and enjoy Allie. I could kiss her little neck. Too cute.
With much Love,
