FRIENDS ARE THE BEST

Having friends that can relate and understand the things that we go through are irreplaceable. Through these past 2 years of going through the adoption process we have met some of the most wonderful people. People that can truelly understand what it is like to be infertile, what it is like to want something so badly and not be able to have it. Understanding the agony of a long wait and having absolutely no control in the process. These friends have helped us so much to get through the wait when we thought it would never end. Well, we have made it far enough that we can see the finish line at the end of the race. What a wonderful prize we will get to keep, the most beautiful thing we have ever laid eyes on. We are truelly in love with our Lily Sihua and we haven't even met, but we know when that day does come when we hold her for the first time we will be head over heels.

Last night our friends gave us a party to celebrate receiving our referral. We had the best time. They served Mexican food and margaritas (they know my favorites well:-). Our friends Kim and Scott were there with their twin girls, which were such fun to watch and play with. They were all so generous to present us with gifts. We had a lot of fun seeing all the great things that Lily will get to enjoy. Thank you all.

Brian and Nancy,
I'm sorry I didn't have chance to call you before you left.I had a RS meeting in Springfield,MO that night. After a 2hr drive up, a 2hr mtg. and a 2hr drive back, it was too late to call.I hope you enjoy your time in China! We are praying that all goes well for you. Let me know if you have any questions. I have been to the consoluate many times and kind of know the area. And remember we have friends still living 2hrs from the consoluate (in Shenzhen).They will be adopting next fall as well!! Keep us updated! love, Deanne
