Our Adoption Journey

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 09, 2006 09:15 PM, CDT Joe came home from work today and was able to see pictures of Maria for the first time....He was in tears and said he fell in love with her at first site. We decided to name her Christina (Follower of Christ) Maria(To honor the name her Birthmother chose). We are filled with so much joy. It is all we talk and dream about. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 07, 2006 04:32 PM, CDT We just recieved the medical information, pictures and video of Maria Fernanda. Words can't describe the feelings we had watching the video over and over again. She is so beautiful and tiny. I just wanted to pick her up and out of the video. The social worker said the hard part would be the waiting and so it begins and yes the waiting is hard. I called Joe immediately and he said accept her and send in the paperwork with out even seeing her. I contacted the agency and accepted our new daughter-to-be. Actually she is our daughter in our hearts already. We can't imagine life without her
