Without Further Ado...


Announcing the forthcoming adoption of:
Emilija Liga BingQing
DOB: February 10, 2008
Currently waiting for us in Hunan Province

We received PA today and can now share her photo. I have been waiting for this moment for so long. It was great to see those who received their referrals last week and early this week post photos of their baby girls but hard too because I so wanted to share Emi's photos. Now we can!

Now we're waiting on LOA and I've heard they're coming FAST!! After that TA and on to China!



Our agency is requesting updated info on her since these photos were taken when she was 6 months old and this Friday she'll be 14 months. So we have no idea if she has had any surgery on her lip or palate. There is no guarantee we'll get it because things are moving really fast for other families I know.

In the meantime...we have WAY too much to do. I'm cleaning her room which has been filled with stuff since we moved in. Filling out the paperwork so that we can get our home study updated (an addendum to the existing one). And the list just goes on and on. Will I be able to retain my sanity??? My guess is a big fat NO!!!

We love you baby girl and we're coming to get you as soon as we can!!!

She is so beautiful. I am so happy for you guys. Yes, the time will literally fly by...and the stop completely when you are waiting between you TA and consulate appointment...and the speed up again.

She looks a bonny, big girl for 6 months: doing well with lifting her head, rolling around and sitting. I'm betting you've got a Little Miss Active on your hands here :)

Congratulations, she is lovely. What a gorgeous, serene little face she has.

Can't wait to see her with you, Lane and Eriks.
