My sweet little angel
we didn’t even know your name
when we first thought about you
but we loved you just the same.
We prayed and we dreamed of the day when we would meet
that special little person who would make our life complete.
That we were brought together is an answer from above.
You needed someone to care for you,
we needed someone to love.
The road that you have walked alone is now a distant past.
So, rest assured my angel, you are safe at home at last.

[Lo-la-la]

I combined two different adoption announcements that I found online and improvised a little by adding Olya's name and changing "our" to "my" and "us" to "me" because I am a single mom. This is what I used:

The angels caught my teardrop and heard my prayer,
They have delivered a miracle into my care.
A little girl born in a far away land,
God has chosen me to hold her hand.
Sweet little Olya has so much love to share,
Truly a blessing forever in my care.

I loved this one when I found it on the web---but I may have to change "whispered" to "threw a tantrum for"

Our hearts whispered her name
And God answered.

sigh. I've had that name echoing in my being for 9 years now. What's so great about this new longer waiting period?

We ordered these invitations:
Front:
He who set the stars in space came by this way today
he left a tiny bundle within our hearts to stay
he brought to us a miracle and from the very start
he gave us love unspeakable
boundless love within our heart
what began as only two of us for all the world to see
by the miracle of adoption we became a family!

Inside we had:
name
birthdate
location (Kirov, Russia)
adoption date

I had announcements all set just needed to add dates and have them printed. But we ended up coming home so close to Christmas that I changed them to read

"Our Gifts Came Early this Year!
Announcing the arrival of Samuel Ernest and Sophia Shirley.
Adopted November 16th, Vladivostok, Russia.

We hope your holidays are as blessed!"

with a picture of the children in their Christmas outfits.

This is what we had set up:

The years we have waited
For pink and for blue
Our children have come home to us
Dreams really do come true
