About Me!
My journey began 1-1-06 when I began chasing my paperwork for my China adoption...still waiting. In the back of my mind I have always had a desire for two children. Although I have remained confident that the China adoption will eventually happen I was not sure how or where child #2 would come from. Six months after I was accepted to the China program CCAA announced that they would no longer approve additional singles to adopt. I now have that answer... Ethiopia! My adoption agency has expanded to other countries and allowing those of us that are still waiting to do concurrent adoptions. Journey #2 has now begun ...GOD'S LITTLE SURPRISE!

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!!
My mom and I leave for Ethiopia tentatively on June 18th. It's hard to believe I will finally meet my baby girl in one month. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This long journey will finally be complete and a new chapter in our lives will begin. I can't wait. It's so hard to wait. I know the time will go fast, but right now it feels like time is standing still.
One day at a time or as a friend of mine would say 29 more sleeps!!!!
