Ruby's gonna be a sister

I don't post here as much as I did when I was in process but I still read alot (LisaLuka, I felt your pain yesterday, missing the forum).

Yesterday I officially accepted the referral of a 5 year old girl, M, in Ethiopia. We are really excited and I think Ruby will be a great little sister. It will be a much better fit for her than being a big sister. I can't post any pics of our new beauty until we make it through court. I'm hoping to bring M home some time this summer.
