Progress

We've had a lot of progress around here lately!  We received our email with our little ones file from China!   It's the next  piece of this puzzle we've been waiting on and to say we were elated about this is an understatement.

The day we received it, was my late day at work and I got a call from home telling me the news.  We agreed we wouldn't open up the file until we were both home. The meeting that afternoon at work is a blur as I just couldn't stop thinking about what we were getting ready to learn from that file. Boy, did I ever hurry home that day!  

We sat down at the computer and clicked to open it and...nothing.  The file couldn't be found.!!  WHAT?!?!?! No way!  By now the New York offices were closed and we had to wait another night.  

We agreed that the next morning whenever we got the file, we wouldn't wait to open it together.  I didn't want to risk waiting another night! The next morning around 9:30 I got the file at work and quickly tried to scan through it before heading into a meeting. 

Seeing new pictures of her was my absolute favorite!

 We now have a little more insight into her life so far.  A few more formalities until we are official and can share pictures.  And yes, we have LOTS of precious pictures to share!

It is such a surreal feeling to know our daughter is around the world waiting for us to come and bring her home.  Our hearts are so full already and our love for her grows by the minute.

  

We had dinner the other night with a friend and she surprised us with a gift for our daughter.  Our first gift - and yes, I did tear up.

Lots of snuggles waiting for her and us!
