It's a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been matched with a beautiful 10 year old girl named MING!!!!!!

She is from China and now we start to process to bring her home. We hope to travel in 4 - 6 months. WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!

Why Ming? After learning that there is no end to the long wait for a healthy baby AND may not receive a referral for another 2 1/2 years from now AND experiencing heartaches with the domestic adoption, we decided to look into older Chinese adoptions. We found Ming on A Helping Hand's website (A Helping Hand is our parent agency) on 1/13/08. We turned in our application on 1/22 and received the good news on 1/24!!!! We are truly meant to be together and are so happy things turned out the way they did. It was worth all the tears and anxiety. Now it is a mad dash to finish paperwork, update everything and get our ducks in a row ASAP!

Ming is so precious and is absolutely beautiful. She is absolutely perfect! We will not post a photo of her on our blog until she is legally in our family. More information will be posted as it comes........
