REFERRAL!!!!!

Greetings from Cloud 9! Our case worker called us this afternoon to tell us about a precious little 5 month old baby girl who arrived at Hannah's Hope (transferred from a government-run orphanage) on September 7. After the call, they emailed us all of her paperwork and a bunch of PICTURES! She's beautiful! Big brown alert eyes, chubby cheeks, kissable lips! We're already crazy about her--head over heels in love! We are not permitted to share her name or a picture of her face until she's actually in our arms (which we hope will be before Christmas). But here's a tiny glimpse of her sweetness: Isn't that just the loveliest little hand you've ever seen?!?!
