WE ARE PINK!!!! We finally know when we are going to get our little girl and when she'll be home forever! We're so excited!!! We leave in 6 DAYS!!! And I haven't packed a thing yet! We leave on Monday March 3rd early in the morning, and Karly will be brought to us later that day. Then our Embassy appointment is on Tues. March 4th at 7:15am. The next day our attorney will pick up Karly's VISA and we will fly home early on Thursday March 6th. We are still in shock!
The reason we got a faster appointment date is because I became concerned about Karly's one eye in the last couple sets of update pictures. It seemed to be turning in more than the other eye. I took her photos to a Pediatric eye dr and then to our Pediatrician and they both wrote letters yesterday stating that she should come home ASAP to be checked out. They don't really think it's anything major, but they want her to be checked out. It could be a "lazy eye" type thing, and maybe she'll wear a patch for awhile, but she'll fit right in here with Luke and his eye winking disorder! LOL!
Well, I have a ton of things to do and I still can't think straight, so goodbye for now!

About Me

We adopted Karly from Guatemala and she came home on 3/6/08. She is our little princess. I am also mommy to my 2 angel babies in Heaven, Blake (12/26/03)& Gabriella (10/10-10/13/04) who were so small, so sweet and taken all too soon. I run an infant loss support group once a month and I volunteer at a grief center for children.
YOU
All babies are a gift, some are even surprises.
But YOU, my adopted child are a treasure!
YOU were not only planned and prepared for;
YOU were a journey we took, a mission we had our hearts on, a treasure so precious!
YOU were worth the wait, worth the tears, worth all the fears we faced.
Because YOU, our adopted child are a treasure!

Not of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it!
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it!
