Referral!

We were totally surprised yesterday by a phone call from our agency with the referral of our sweet new daughter. We had waited 6 1/2 months and were expecting to wait another couple of months! She is six months old and is completely beautiful We should travel to bring her home in 4-5 months.

There is a Buddhist saying about adoption...
It basically says you and your husband must have loved your baby very much in your previous life, that you were able to find her again in this life.

We do have a name - Phoebe Anh. Anh is her Vietnamese name, obviously! And we have a blog but it is now protected so that only family and others adopting from our agency can view it. Now that we have her picture and know her location, I'll feel safer keeping her info private until she's home and finalized!

Can you PM me what agency you are working with? Our agency told us the wait for a girl was over a year.

Congratulations!
