This is the very first image of our daughter. Isn't she lovely? A little larger than we expected, and older too, but we adore her! All joking aside, we are very anxiously awaiting the referral so we can bring her home. We have no idea what she looks like, or her age or even if she is currently in foster care or an orphanage. But we know she is there now. We had originally expected our daughter in September, but we got held up by a few glitches in the adoption system. We have learned that this process is a very fluid one, indeed. Currently, our expected time to go to China, is in November, although that can certainly change if paperwork gets backed up while waiting for them to match us in China. At one time, our Social Worker asked us, "Why China? Why adoption?" and Scott's response was very poetic. He said, "We have a daughter in China. She doesn't know it yet, but our daughter is waiting for us to finish all this paperwork so that we can come get her, and bring her home."
....And so begins our journey.
