She's too Cute to Keep to Ourselves

I think hats on little girls always look great but you have to admit she's working this one.
Here's Emmaxia pushing me along to cut the grass.

  1. She is just adorable. I love your blog, and read with interest because we are adopting from China also. It's been a very long wait but we are so eager and excited for when it'll be our turn. I enjoyed reading your posts from your travel to bring your precious daughter home. She looks like she is thriving in your home, so beautiful and happy. Thanks for sharing.

  4. That outfit brings back so many great memories from when Rylee and Delaney were little. We're so glad it fit her for a little while, as it is too cute! So is Emmaxia and that gorgeous smile of hers. Love it! Thanks for posting more pictures. Love to you all, RJ and family

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.
