CONGRATULATIONS MARY-MIA & ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here they come!!!

Wow, out of nowhere, we have just learned that the stork is on it's way!
Oh, I'm sorry, not for us, but for those who where LID last July.
And the best part is that Mary-Mia will definately get her referral this time!
Most of you already know who she is, but for those who don't, check out the link, Salsa in China. She is kind of like a celebrity in the Chinese adoption blog world. And I know everyone is almost as excited for them to get their referral as they are!
Here's hoping for GW to kick it into high gear!!!  

Where the heck! What kind of nerve!!!

O.K. I wake up this morning, go check my blog, see that there are two comments on my previous post, so hey I want to read them, so o.k. the first is from Mary-Mia, thanks girlfriend!
Next one, OMG!!! where in the world did this person come from, and how did you find MY BLOG!
If you have not read the comment yet, please do so before reading any more!!!




Now, you all are just about as angry as I am right about now, HUH?
I have seen rude comments on other people's blogs before, but hey, I think this one takes the cake of all rude comments!

First of all, I did not turn my back on all the children in this country, if you read my blog at all, you would know that I have two of the most beautiful girls in the world, and they are from this country!
Secondly, exactly how many children IN THIS COUNTRY did you adopt, if you think you are so special and know all about it?

I checked out your blog Mr. Snake Hunter, and seems like you're just an old fart kind of red neck, from @#%&, who does'nt know how to mind his own business!

I, on the other hand, have compassion for people in this whole world, not for just the people in this country, and no I am not ashamed of it!

Oh, and I already have a dog, thank you very much!

Not a heck of a lot happening!

Well, sorry I have not posted much lately, I guess I am in a little funk! Nothing new to post about the adoption, except the wait could get longer, but I'd rather not even discuss that topic.
What else have I been up to? Well, I am just about ready to start putting our quilt together, I went through all of the squares that I have been sent, and sat down to decide which ones go where. It may take quite a while, but I WILL FINISH THIS PROJECT!!! As I have said before, this quilt will be in a heart themed pattern. I also went ahead and made a pattern for the other two. Lily's will be a Zinnia flower pattern, and Madilyn's will be butterflies. I have received so many beautiful fabrics, I can't wait to see it put together. Hope it turns out great!

Oh, we got a surprise in the mail today! To be honest I had actually (almost) forgotten about getting this. We got our "Brown Envelope" today. For those who do not have a clue as to what I'm referring to, well this is a packet from the U.S. Consulate in China, saying that they have received our file from the USCIS office here. What's it in you may ask? Well, lets take a peek.

1- A Letter that is just explaining things.
2- A welcome letter from the adoptions unit in Guangzhou (pronounced Guan-Joe)
3- A map of the U.S. consular section location and surrounding area.
4- Application for immigrant Visa (for our daughter to be able to leave China)
5- Consulate medical exam form (for her)
6- Affidavit concerning exemption from immigrant vaccination requirements for foreign adopted child.

So in a nut shell, it is just some more paperwork that we have to keep up with during this LONG wait.
