Abigail's China Babies

When I got up this morning, Ross hollered at me from our bedroom, "Grab the picture off the kitchen table and ask Abigail what it is."  Abigail was still laying in her bed; barely stirring from her good night's sleep.  When I walked into her room and showed her the hand drawn masterpiece I was holding in my hand, her smile lit up the room. I asked her what it was and she said with a big smile, "It's me and my China Babies." Melt a Momma's heart!

Hannah's Letter

As we were filling out our Adoption Application, we realized that our children would be given the opportunity to write a letter explaining what they expect from this adoption experience; and this is what Hannah wrote:

I want a China baby because she has a sister. That sister is me. She won't be alone. She won't be an orphan. She will be my sister because she will be adopted. She will have a better life. It is going to take a long time to get there!!  I love China girls.

Love,
Hannah Green

P.S. My China Girl

Out of the mouths of babes. She wrote this letter on her own, without any input from Ross or I. I'm sure some day this little letter will be priceless to our sweet Eden.

Passports!

Woohoo! We received our passports today; just two and a half weeks after we applied for them. That is much faster than the minimum of four weeks we were told to expect.
