Karine's bedroom

We finally finished her room! With 2 boys, I'm not used to seeing so much pink!

New Pictures!

Here are some recent pictures of Karine that we received from Amanda at Starfish. Please check out their website at http://www.thestarfishfosterhome.org and also check http://chinesestarfishcleft.blogspot.com
They do amazing work with orphans who need love and medical care. This is where Karine is presently living. We will be forever grateful to Amanda and the nannies!

Still waiting...

We are still waiting for our LSC letter to arrive from China. We will only get our travel dates once we sign this letter and send it back to China. I just want to go and get her!! At this point, it looks like we should be travelling early May but nothing official.
Her birthday is coming up soon! March 6th, she'll be turning 2. We really wish we could be there to celebrate her birthday with her. We're sending her a package with gifts for her birthday. Hopefully it'll get there on time.

Our Referral!

We are very excited to share our news of our referral with family and friends! On January 22nd, we received a call from our agency. They had a little girl for us! Her birthdate is March 6, 2008. She lives in Xi'an city in the province of Shaanxi. Her chinese name is An Tian Yu. We will be calling her Karine Tian Yu. We received our Letter of Approval on January 28th. We are now waiting for our LSC and once we get this letter, we should be travelling 6-9 weeks later!! We cannot wait to go and get her!!
