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?!?!

Our little ones are nearly the same age!!! 4 months and 5 months- they have got to be little playmates!! That is just incredible! How precious... i am so excited for y'all!! Where in Florida are you? My best friend lives in Leesburg, FL (45 minutes from Disney)- She has been begging me to come visit for a while now, and I plan to once we have been home (after the cacooning- haha from the call you'll have with Emily) I would love to get our little babies together back in the states!
