Journey to Jade

After over 4 years of being in the 'system' to adopt a precious baby from China and our approved file being in China since 14th December 2005, we know are JUST about to be allocated a baby!! The U.S. has been receiving their referrals over the last few days, and Australia is usually a few days behind... The 3 boys are just starting to realise it will happen... Liam was only 5 years old when we first talked to them about adopting for our 4th child - and he has just turned 12!

We will first get a phone call with the babies details (name, date of birth, province, etc) and we get to see the first photos probably the day after!
This weekend is going so slowwwwly... Although we are trying to keep busy.

Last night I ran a "Muck Up" night for the Venturers - with pasta, rice, flour, jelly, tinned fruit, shaving foam, baked beans, tomato sauce, bbq sauce, water guns being tossed around Elcho Park. What a hoot!!

Tonight we are hosting friends over for a Greek night (we have different countries taking it in turns) - so have to keep busy getting ready (why am I on the computer then :-)

Tomorrow we are getting together with our whole batch who will be traveling to China together - also to get their babies.

Monday I have a book party at a friends house and Tuesday night might just be the night!!!!!!!!
Bring it on and bring out the Moe!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for us to see our precious babies face for the first time!!

It is so like the last few weeks of the pregnancy where you just want to see what this little person looks like. Then it turns into more like the ultrasound, where you then have a picture but have to wait and wait to hold that precious thing - Could be January or more likely February that we travel...

I will update the site as soon as we have news!!

Thank you SO much for doing a website Cindy-Lee - I'm thrilled. It was this time last year we were 2 and a bit weeks of picking Ebony....I remember SO well. You have such an exciting time ahead and I really can't wait to see photo's - I know at least 3 families in your batch which has made it extra exciting. It makes me want to go back 12 months. Praying time goes really quickly for you. Jen, Graham and Ebony Vic Batch 22
