Saturday Morning Sunshine

Early Saturday morning we got the most beautiful email from Ann at Red Thread China! Oh my! Since the day we learned about our daughter, I have had a very calm feeling inside telling me that she is in good hands, is very loved and very well taken care of. Well these pictures confirm that mama sense I've had all along.





While the wait to travel will be difficult in the coming days and weeks, I know the time she has with her foster family is quickly running out and they too are waiting like we are. Of course their wait is different than ours, we wait to hold her in our arms and put her forever in our home and they wait for her to be taken from theirs and only remembered through pictures and memories. I will never take for granted what this woman has given to my daughter, never. These images will forever be displayed in our home to ensure we never ever forget.

Along with these beautiful pictures, we also got some updated measurements and Baby J has gained two pounds! She is still without teeth, but looking at the pictures, her little blue puffy shirt has a nice drool patch under the chin...classic teething sign! We are hoping to get another update in the next month or so and hope to have a better idea of what size clothing to bring for her when we travel. We are so grateful for Ann's service, it has brought us so much joy this weekend! We also received our sweet girls finding add last week...



A definite treasure to have. Staring at her sweet face so small and wondering about her beginning days has been a daily process here. God has chosen us for her and for that blessing I am humbled!

Look at those cheeks! She's so beautiful. She looks like she's being well cared for. This must give you some comfort as you wait to bring her home. I'm so happy for you that you have this little piece of her history.

Wow! What an amazing gift!

Sophie has just started looking at her photo album that I put all of the pictures from the cameras in her care package I sent as well as the pics from Anne.

What a treasure these photos are!!! And what a beautiful, happy-looking baby! Is that her foster mother? She reminds me of my Yiyang daughter's foster mother, whose name was given to me as Jiang Fulan.

Best wishes!

Kayce, what a doll she is! Have a Merry Christmas knowing its the last without your daughter. Hopefully we can catch up after the holidays!

Oh she is so sweet, I am so happy for you for getting these photos... she is a darlin' :) The photos are such a great thing to get...

Sorry I haven't dropped by of late... I am having trouble pulling up blogs... they take forever... guess I will have to clean this computer... off... hope your Christmas was a good one... take care...

OMW Kayce! She is a little sweetheart! Jennifer seems so well fed and loved. The expression on the nannies face is priceless. I will say that every YiYang County baby that I met last month was happy, strong, healthy and full of personality. I will always be greatful for the wonderful care system in YiYang.

What a wonderful Christmas gift to see her little face. Love the rooftop in the background she will love to see these picture someday. Sorry I am so behind on blogging you will undersand why in just a short time. It will be your turn.

You'd think by now I could read one of these blogs without getting all teary, but I really can't. I'm so proud and happy to be part of the adoption world and meet other people like you! She is just beautiful and such a blessing Kayce. I'm so very happy that she is coming home soon!
