Two More Pictures!

Look at all those LAYERS!!! These pictures were taken in March when her medical exam was completed. We hope she is dressed a bit cooler for the summer months :)




Here is the one that makes us want to go scoop her up as quick as possible!!! :(




Yesterday, after receiving the referral packet from the "hit & run" FedEx driver, we took her medical info to the pediatrician. From all the information we have, she is healthy! Next we rushed to FedEx to overnight the Acceptance Letter to our agency. They will gather these letters from all the families in our group and send them to China and await word from the CCAA on our TA's (Travel Approval).

For now we are working on sending this little peanut a Care Package :) - M

We got the call!

She is 7 months old, born 11/13/08 in the Jiangxi Province. Her name is Guo Dan Rui, "Guo" is her surname and "Dan Rui" means red pistil, as in part of a flower. She weighed just under 12lbs and was just under 24" long in March when the photo was taken. She does not currently have any teeth but is healthy and normal. We are jumping over the moon with joy. We are anticipating travel in 5-7 weeks. That will give us some time to agree on a name, we'll need every minute of that time I'm sure. Praise God - We have fallen in love again!

Matches have ARRIVED!!!! Come on MONDAY!!!

Our agency just updated their site to say....

6/19/2009Matches Arrived!!!

We just received a group of matches today! The CCAA matched our families with log in dates of March 15, 2006! We also received matches for our expedited families due to Chinese Descent who were logged in through April 10, 2007! At this time, the CCAA has not updated their intranet website, so we do not know the official cut off date.
Congratulations to all of our families who were matched in this group! We are excited to be calling these families on Monday!

COME ON MONDAY!!!!

Stay tuned everyone... it's getting GOOD :) - M

The WAIT is almost over :)

Here is the update from our agency!!!!!!!!!

Matches Completed!

We have learned the CCAA has completed the next group of matches. We do not know the cut off date for the next set of matches at this time. We do hope the CCAA mails matches soon! We will update this website as soon as we have new information

So what does this mean??? It MEANS that on someone's desk in China our file is now sitting with the baby's file :) Someone, down here on earth, knows who our child is, where they are, how old they are, what they look like!!!!! OMG!!

I hope that DSL already has the packages in the air. DSL will be our Stork, lol :) If matches are received at the agency on Friday we will get our "call" on Monday...if they get them Monday we get called on Tuesday. Either way.... we will finally, finally, FINALLY see the face of our newest addition!!!!!!

We are literally on the edge of our seats! I hardly slept last night, my head is just spinning! We are sooooo ready to share our news as soon as we have it!!!!!!!!
