Finally got an update of our little guy!

Finally.....we got to see our little guys sweet little face!!  He is getting so big!  I can't believe how much he has grown since May!  He is doing great and I can't wait to go and get him!

Finally DTC!!!!

We are finally DTC which means Dossier To China!!  Our dossier is all the documents that we have been gathering for all this time......they were all approved by our agency and they sent them off to China!  Now our wait will continue until China approves them also.  That can take anywhere from 2-3 months at best!

So we will wait some more......

I love this......

KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Finally a picture of Gary and I

We finally took some pictures!  Not very good at doing that but hope to get alot better about it!!

One more step!

We are one step closer!  We have all of our documents that were notarized back from the Secretary of State and  they certified them all!  They were very good about getting them back to us quickly......only 3 days!!  I could not believe that we had them back in such good time!   Now we have to send all of the documents on to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago....hopefully they are as good about getting them back to us as fast!  When we get them all authenticated there we can send all of our documents that make up our dossier on to China!! Can't wait!!
