What we know so far..

This is our baby girl Mia. She will be 8 months old on 3/10/07. She is from the Fengcheng Social Welfare Institute in the Jiangxi Province. Her DOB is 7/10/06 and we there could be no parents more proud than us! We are actually finally a mommy and daddy. Can you believe it? We are still reeling from the reality of it all but I wanted to fill everyone in on our day..

Couldn't sleep at all last night, I "knew" today could be the day. Woke up and checked the message boards, but still wouldn't let myself believe it would be real. I thought I should let Kevin know there was a good chance we would get the call today. After a brief moment of panic, he regained composure and said "are you sure?" I assured him anything was possible and went to work with a stern warning to Kevin "Make sure you have your phone on you all day". He looked at me like "do you think I'm stupid?" Work was very unproductive but I tried to keep busy.
At 11:50am, I received a phone call and my heart skipped a beat. It was our China Coordinator telling me there was good news and bad news. As my heart sank, she told me the good news was that she received a referral package from China. The bad news was it only contained one referral (was supposed to have 2). She then told me it was our referral that she received. I was happy yet devastated for the other family who should have gotten their referral too. I wrote down all the info she gave me on scratch paper as I was not expecting the call til after noon and we set up an appointment at the Agency for 3pm.

When we met, we signed the referral accepting Mia as our daughter and now we wait for Travel Approval. Oh, I forgot to mention she is in Foster care which is great! I will update more later. Thank you for all your wishes, love and support!!!!
