We completed our dossier and sent it to our agency on March 17th.
We were requesting a baby girl, however, we also requested a waiting child dvd from our agency. The dvd was received and it actually sat on the counter for couple of days before I remembered to view it.
I honestly was not expecting to see so many beautiful older kids that were waiting for a home. I found myself mesmerized with this one very special young girl. She's between the ages of 10 - 12 years old and has been in the orphanage for a year and a half. See has seen both of her best friends leave with loving families and she still manages to smile for every picture, maintains a 93% in all her classes and is sweet and friendly.
Well, on April 6th, we officially accepted her referral!

We are over the moon excited and pray for a smooth court process so she can join our family sooner than later!

We will soon have another beautiful daughter in our family.
