Waiting for Lily

Our journey for Lily started in October during dinner, when my husband brought up the idea of adopting from China. He has been thinking about adopting for quite awhile, so when he asked me about my views on it I was little stunned. We don't have any children of our own but the idea was a lot to take in. We discussed different countries to adopt and did some research before deciding that this was the right direction for us to go. Just before Christmas we started the process to adopt from China and it has been the best decision we have ever made.

On Christmas day 2005, we told my family. They were so excited for us and my parents can't wait to be grandparents again. My sister is excited to be an Aunt and to welcome a new cousin for her twin sons.

We are very excited to be parents and can't wait to welcome Lily to our home. We in the regular program and have requested a girl between 6 months and 2 years.
