Katherine's Big Brother Matt

I couldn't resist posting a video of our son, Matt, singing in his college recital last year. Did I mention how proud we are of him? Katherine is going to have the most awesome Big Brother!

This is a 7 minute video which offers a good explaination as to why we chose to adopt from China.

We received an e-mail from our agency that they have received 39 referrals through June 9,2005 LID. There are 3 more dates in June and 4 dates in July before August 24th LID receives their referrals. This seems like eternity. We are praying that more than one date at a time will start receiving referrals. At this rate, it will be 7 more months before we receive our referral for our little girl which would be a total of 16 months since our LID and 23 months since we started the paperchase. Then another 2 months before we can travel to bring her home. GRRRRRRRRR!!! Now, our fingerprints are going to expire and we have to have them redone and $$$$ fees again. Hopefully, our I-171 won't expire, because that presents with more paperwork and more $$$$. (JUST VENTING! I'll be fine.) Please remember our little Katherine in your prayers. God Bless you all!!

We have met and become friends with some other families who have adopted from China. They have shared their little girls with me and the children have stollen my heart. I love to take pictures and would like to share some of my favorites with you. ENJOY!!! Lily's Smile: Awesome!! Posted by Picasa
