    Carol and I feel so blessed that our daughter Lily has been in such good hands and seems so healthy. From the little information we received about her; we knew she is very outgoing, a deep sleeper, a good eater, talkative, playful, smart, energetic, and happy.

Check out these pictures of Lily from 7 to 9 months old. She will be 1 year on 9/2/2002.

    We had an idea our referral would be coming soon, but Carol and I thought it was still a few weeks off. We heard about our referral on 7/8/02. That day Carol passed our Adoption Agency; at the same time praying the referral was there. For some reason Carol thought our agency knew something, so she called that day and was told she would get a call back later.


     I know what you are thinking; Carol must call the agency twice a week. Not True! The truth is that during our 13 month wait, this was only her 3rd call looking for news.


    Well the Agency called back and told Carol the referral had arrived. What timing, I had just left for NJ for a week of Java training. Carol was so excited; she picked up the photo and drove the 2 1/2 hours to NJ to show her family and have me sign some papers. By the time I heard about it, Carol had known for half the day. I got a call around 6 in the evening, and I couldn't believe it when Carol told me the news. She drove to my hotel and I saw the 3 beautiful photos for the first time.


Below gives you an idea where we are going to in China. We will pick her up in her foster home city of Nanchang. Our paperwork must then be finalized in Canton. Total travel time in China should be about 2 weeks.
