Getting things in order.....

Well you wait and wait for your referral for two years and then you finally get to see your beautiful childs precious face, then the next phase......travel preparations. We received a history on Zoey a few days ago. A short synopsis...
She was found on 6-7-07 at the front gate of a local hospital and was reported to the local police. She was admitted to the orphanage with the police's permission. She received a medical check-up and her date of birth was estimated based on the condition of her cord. She was healthy and weighed 6.6lbs. She at 4 months was eating rice cereal, has juice, mashed fruit and egg yogurt, milk, she sleeps through the night (8-6), localizes to sounds and people, can lift her head up when on her tummy, and babbles alot.
It's so exciting to hear these wonderful things, but is sad too because we have not been there to experience all these milestones. We are absolutely thrilled about being able to soon hold her in our arms, kiss and hug her, and watch her thrive in a home and family full of love.
This week we returned our referral acceptance saying that we absolutely want this precious angel! We also sent off for our Visa's so we can travel to China to bring her home. Now we are back to the waiting game. At least during this leg of the wait we have packing to keep us occupied and the Christmas Season, of course we have had life in general keeping us occupied the last two years and our beautiful Madison! She is so excited about being a big sister! She's so adorable when she talks about her, I love to see that twinkle in her eye.
