A healthy, beautiful, and happy little girl who is developing very well and is in line with where she should be with other children her age has just officially entered our lives and our hearts! Actually, the love that we have her for has been there since before we saw her picture or we read all of her medical files.

It truly is so wonderful and we continue to be amazed with how our adoption journey has gone. We are sure that many of you have read our postings yesterday and we are still concerned and stressed about what we are faced with at this moment; however, Monica will be traveling at any time to begin working aggressively with our attorney on the current situation. We have been praying and have been optimistic that everything is going to work out.

This is our daughter! It’s so wonderful to actually say these words! It seems that fate is bringing us together because as a number of you have mentioned to us, we began journaling our adoption experience on March 2nd – which it turns out was less than 24 hours from when she entered this world!

Because both of us are making many phone calls and doing everything that we can possibly do along with our other responsibilities we will continue to update the blog. So, please continue checking the blog as your source for updates.
