Katie's babies

I bought these 2 baby dolls for Katie this summer. They were too cute to pass up. One is for her to play with once we get her and the other will be saved/used as decoration in her room until she is older.

Waiting for First Child from China is a yahoo group that I am a part of while we wait for our daughter or possilbly a son. Several of us participated in a quilt square swap for our 100 wishes quilts. These are the ones that I have at this point. I have others that I will also post that I received last year but can not locate at the moment because they are put up in a "Safe Place".

I'm Here

I came across this poem today while searching the internet.

"I Am Here!"
I am here!
Will you find me?
Though you've never seen my face?
I am here!
Waiting, hoping
Longing for your warm embrace
It's true, you do not hold my picture
Know my name or weight or height
But I am here!
Come and find me!
Bring me home, by God and might!
I am young and I am learning
Will you teach me? Help me grow?
In your home and heart forever,
I will blossom, this I know!
I am here!
I am here!
Can you hear my urgent plea?
Take a leap with faith to guide you!
Choose the path that leads to me!
-- Jill Underhill, 2006

going to the review room

This is the time of month that I love but makes me the saddest. I love watching all of the new referrals but and sad because I wish it was me. I know that one day we will get there, but at least we are heading to the next phase, "The Review Room". This is where China reviews our dossier(our paperwork) and approve us to adopt. We have been approved here in the states now we get review by China. Sometimes they may have questions for the families. Hopefully we are not going to be questioned and that we will got through this phase rater quickly and then hope and pray that the referrals will start to speed up. Congradulations to all of the families out there that have gotten referrals. I will be watching on-line some of your journies.
