Good things come to those who wait!!!
We received a referral for a very healthy, baby girl! She was born on August 4, 2011 in the Jiangxi province. We are over the moon! Thank you so much for all of your prayers and encouragement! More to come and pictures soon! :)

Anticipation...
Spent a little time reading through the journals that I started for Emma Grace waaaaaay back in the beginning. Boy, I sure hope my child doesn't judge me too harshly for the sentimentality that oozes from those pages!
I'm feeling pretty cautiously optimistic tonight. Been reading the 'rumor' blogs and many of them point to phone calls starting tomorrow possibly. It's exciting to think that sometime this week we might know what our precious girl looks like!
I'd like to be able to really relax and enjoy this time but it's been anything but enjoyable recently. My head has been full of swirling, whirling chaos lately. I can't concentrate. I can't think straight! My fuse is short. My patience is thin. All I can think about is getting on a plane and flying across the world, making our little family complete, and establishing our own traditions. I can't wait to take our girl to Cedar Key in July, to spend Christmas morning in our own beds and awake to the magic of Santa's visit, to actually celebrate Mother's day this year without tears and longing, for Paul to know the joy of being a father on Father's day. The list is innumerable.
Come on, baby girl, come on! This could be our week!
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
