Congratulations to all you wonderful mommies who are seeing your long-awaited daughters today!!! I am over the moon excited for you all and cannot wait to follow you on this exciting journey.

This is sweet little Zoey, her mommy designed my blog and has been a friend from the very beginning. If you go way back to my first blog post, you will see a post regarding a poem she wrote for her Zoey, so many years ago.



This is Terri's beautiful Daughter..Terri is one of the original Arizona Adoption Mama's! Our group has grown over the years and I have been so fortunate to have met this beautiful person during our journey to Lauren.





Terri, Sooze, Steph, 3D, Kelly....I am soo happy for you.

Three Months Ago Today

Today...

Day at the Zoo

Last Thursday was my first birthday as a mommy and wow was it wonderful! We went to the zoo for the first time and Lauren had a blast! She loved feeding the Giraffe, Sam, and clapped each time after she fed him. The train ride was another big hit, she loved yelling "choo choo!" throughout the zoo. The animals were really active and it was just such a fun day!

To all my friends who were anxiously awaiting referrals only to find the CC*A*A did not send them in September....I am truly sorry. It's so hard to take off the armour only to have put it back on again. Just know you all will be holding your daughters and enjoying times like these very soon. I have felt since having Lauren that somehow she knew she was waiting for us. Also, from our experiences in China, I believe your daughters are safe, cared for, and being told mommy and daddy are coming soon. They are anxiously awaiting you just as much as you are awaiting them. I look back on our whole experience and look into Lauren's eyes and just think...what a miracle. Only God could orchestrate something so beautiful.
