Good Morning Everyone!
We have a lot of families uniting with their children for the first time this week and it's been amazing to follow their journeys.
Also, if you haven't heard, there has been a big shake-up with Guatemala adoptions. A baby girl who was stolen from her mother was located in the Guatemala adoption system. She was about to be adopted by an American couple. There is an article on 'No Place Like Home' if you would like to know more.

Also, there are several of our friends who are opening up their own on-line boutiques. Let's do what we can to support them. I have added all of them that I know of on my side-bar. If you would like to copy any of them and post them on your blogs, that would be great! Many of these ladies are raising money to bring their children home, or to help others.
This weekend should be mellow for us. Tim is working on an outside project, so Eli and I will be hanging out together with friends.

Ann is currently in Taiwan to bring home her darling Claire. Her blog is 'Taiwan Treasure' if you would like to drop by and leave a kind work or follow their journey.
Dawn is in China to bring home little Lucy! Their travel blog is 'We Love Lucy'. You can follow their journey, they have some gorgeous photos on the blog.
Paulette is also in China to bring home her sweet little Annalise. Their travel blog is 'Together Forever'. These two are bonding together wonderfully.
*THE CHAT ROOM IS NOW CLOSED, I AM GOING FISHING :)

Be safe, have fun and Ill see you in bloggyworld
Hope you guys have a great week!
I am so excited for you guys. Your secret buddy wanted me to ask you if you received your gift last week?
Good night Amy! Thanks for spending your morning with me.
Amy - thank you. We love the name Alyzabeth An. Though Aly plans to call her Lizzy :)
I'm insisting that I will call her Alyzabeth :)
This should get interesting...
I think Lizzie is cute too.
I will call Sophia by her full name, but my son plans to call her Sophie.
It's all good.

YES and you can not believe the NICE STUFF! We're planning on posting this week with pics. I'm serious. We're embarrassed as to how nice of gifts we received. Whoever this person is, is way too kind and considerate.
I will tell that your person cares greatly for you guys.
She e-mails me quite a bit about you all and the plans she has for her special final gift.
Trust me, the coolest is yet to come.

And not just this month - I mean every month we get the neatest things. Aly and I feel so bad for our SB because I'm afraid we don't send as nice of things. This person's good taste is unbelievable...
She has become a really good friend of mine and you guys too when you figure out who she is.
She really thinks about the things she gets and I don't even know how she finds them as they are so unique.
That is so nice to hear. We can't wait to thank them. Both for us and for Alyzabeth. We keep the gifts out for others to see that come by the house and they all just stare at us and say: And this person does not know you? :) And we say, not that we know.
They are as stunned as we are...
Yes, whoever she gets re-assigned to after you guys have Alyzabeth is going to be really lucky.
My SB group disbanded and I really miss it. I looked so forward to that surprise box every month.
I could have signed up for a new group, but I have so much going on with the blog that I didn't do it.
Well PLEASE do us a favor and let our buddy know we so APPRECIATE the gifts. And like I said, we look forward to saying THANK YOU once we know who this amazing person is.
Our daughter was blessed by this person's love. That we know...
I do not know how you keep up with everything you have going. I'm not just saying that... Where do you get the energy!?!
I will tell her. I have to e-mail back to her that you did receive her package.
You guys are the coolest, and I just cannot wait to see your baby. Are you interested at all in having an on-line baby shower?
Oh gosh. I'll run that one by Aly but folks have been so kind already and I'm certain there are others that it would help so much more. Wow. I just never thought about it...
Really,
It's a great thing for you guys and for the waiting families. It gives us something to celebrate and keeps in our minds that babies are coming home.
So really..it's a lot of fun and a positive experience for everyone involved.
Ask Aly and let me know. We can start working on it when you get your referral.
I will do that.
It is just amazing to me the people we "meet" and get to "know" on this journey. It is so hard to explain to others about our "family" of friends we have come to know. Real people. Real families.
You know what I mean...
I best go. I'm sure you have things you would like to get to.
Thank you - Thank you for all you do and more. Loved talking with you this morning. Talk with you again soon.
peace

Just stoping in to say Hi, I love you and those are some of the most beautiful, priceless pictures I have ever seen in my life.... seeing all of those precious children in the arms of their parents touches my heart beyond words.... Thank You Jesus for answered prayers..... for all of you waiting for your heart's desire.... God's Speed.....

Good morning! Thanks for posting these families who are in China now, it is therapeutic to see those who have made it to their Gotcha day.
