Today is a great day!

Introducing Ming!!!

This is our beautiful daughter. I'm so happy that we finally can share her photo.

Today we received our LOA. We have waited over the average wait (90 days) for this day to arrive. It is another huge step closer to bringing home our daughter! I was at work and our agency called a little after 11:30am MT to fill us in. I think 9 other families from A Helping Hand received LOA's today too. It seemed like this day would never come. It looks like there is a good chance we'll travel to China at the end of June/early July. We can't wait - that day can't come soon enough! It feels so good that everything is finally falling into place and Ming WILL be coming home soon. I think we'll be able to get updated information and updated photos in the next few - several weeks. The best part is that we can send Ming our care package we put together months ago and she'll know that she has a family waiting for her! I hope she is happy when she finds this out.

This is a such a cool week because my friend, Jamie, is hosting an adoption shower this Sunday for Ming. How fun! We also received Ming's first gifts from Ashley (another Chinese adoptive parent - link on right side) and Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa George. Ming received some really cute clothing, toys, hair accessories, jewelry and educational toys. Thank you so much. Ming will be the most stylish gal in South Park!
