Happy Father's Day!

Emmaxia would like to wish her daddy a very special Father's Day. We love you, Daddy (BaBa)/Todd!
-Emmaxia and Tara
I'd like to also acknowledge Emmaxia's uncles and her "big brother" cousins (I know they will be such important people to our daughter) and especially Emma's grandpas. We miss our dads so much but know they are still very present in Emma's life. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard them both laughing when I took this picture of their grandchild this morning! We will share special Grandpa Tom and Grandpa Rocky stories today.
Happy Father's Day, everyone.

    I gang,

    Wow, very cool stuff. I can tell both mom, dad and baby are bonding well. The smiles tell the story. Sorry to here about the colds, but the joy must overshaddow that.

    Todd, thanks for asking about my rehab. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and have been back to work part time for the last two weeks. In fact I was only in the hospital two days. I am truly blessed and so are you guys. Patti and I were just talking about where Jerritt and Pam might have been had God not entrusted them to us.

    Well, one of your jouneys has ended (the wait) and a new one begins. It'sobvious, you guys will be great.

    Take care,

    Jerry and Patti Miller

    Tara, Todd and Emmaxia-
    This weekend was such a gift to all of us. Meeting Emmaxia in person for the first time is a moment we will never forget. She is so precious! Sorry we haven't been in touch since Monday. You have been in our thoughts a ton and we hope the bonding is continuing to go well. This is our crazy camp/soccer/play week with the kids. I hope to skype sometime during the day tomorrow and will try to catch you. Love the pics and Emmaxia's gorgeous smile. Hope the sleep in improving for all 3 of you. Love you guys!

Greetings, Guests!

We will use this blog to share news as we move one step closer to Baby Rock each day.

For those who need a bit of background...
We decided to adopt a baby from China in September/October of 2005. After completing mountains of paperwork, background checks, fingerprinting, etc. (collectively called the dossier), we were officially on China's waiting list on April 14th, 2006. This moment of acceptance is called the log-in date (LID). This date is quite significant because families are matched with children according to LID. If you follow referral dates (the date a waiting child is matched with a waiting family), you will be able to see how close we are to being matched--at least in theory. When we started the process three and a half years ago, China was matching month for month, meaning one month of LIDs were taking one month to match. Now, unfortunately, one month of LIDs is taking about four months or more. So...we wait...we vent...we cry...we breathe...we hope...we believe.

*To our family and friends-
A huge hug and thank you for sharing our frustration and our joy as we practice patience and faith, knowing Baby Rock is just over the horizon.
