Smiles and Giggles

Hi everyone,

Yulin from our agency called this afternoon and informed us to resend some of our paperwork as CCAA can not find our documents (she only asked for our letter of intent...and not our amendment...not sure why that is? hmmm). And she said she doesn't think we will make it to China by October. (Please, please, please be before xmas!).

But on a happier note, we received video today of Mei Lin at the orphanage. Yulin informs me this is the nicest orphanage she has seen and that Mei Lin is very happy and healthy so not to worry (but how can I not). This is the first child they have adopted out of this orphanage. So it is encouraging to know that even though our daughter is not with us...she is somewhere decent and being well taken care of.

The disc contains 4 short videos. Not great footage, but the longer of the 4 shows her out of her crib crawling, walking, smiling and giggling! Wow, did this make me feel better.

I would love to send it to you all, but it is too big to send via email and I have no idea how to add it to my blog....sorry guys! I have all this video...and nobody to show it to!

So not a great day news wise...but my heart has been warmed and I have hope that we will still see Mei Lin opening her presents on Xmas morning!
