Here we grow again!





They say everything happens for a reason. On February 20, 2007 I was looking at a list of waiting children on our agency's website. I clicked on one little girl's name and the cutest face appeared on the screen. I called Mark over to the computer to take a look at her. This is usually no easy task as he just really isn't interested in looking. He agreed with me that she was a "dolly" and asked me what her need was. After much discussion, we emailed the agency telling them that we were very interested in this little girl as we felt she was our daughter. I also called the agency and left them a message that evening. The agency's policy is a first come, first served one. We did not want to find out that we were too late!! The next morning I tried getting through to the agency many times without luck. Finally in the early afternoon we got through, visited with the director of the agency and very soon after that "I have a family!!!" was placed beside our daughters' name.

The girls are very excited to be adding another sibling to our home. With each milestone reached during our paperchase, RaeAnne and ZoraLin were ready to pack their bags and go to China to bring Jordis Li home. Our dossier was logged in at the CCAA on May 29, 2007. We are now waiting for the next step in the process which is when we are sent a Letter of Acceptance (LOA)
