One year ago today....

Xin Hong Bao's referral packet was mailed via DHL to our agency....we didn't know it....but our lives were going to change very quickly!!! It took almost a week to get to our agency because the package would normally come in through San Francisco, but got stuck in New York at customs....BUT, she was worth the wait, wasn't she??

Yes, she was worth the wait. She's beautiful. She has grown and changed so much. I wouldn't even recognize her from her referral photo.

Stacey,
Delurking to tell you how much I've enjoyed your blog since discovering it this past summer. Ryleigh and Austin are both beautiful children who are changing before our eyes. I hope 2007 is a great year for your family (And I hope it brings my family a referral!)

Hi Stacey-

Ryleigh was SO worth the wait. What a doll!

Say, you haven't heard from Shana yet, have you? The last email I received, days ago, left me freaked a bit.. and the blog isn't improving my mood! I know she's gotten my messages.. but she hasn't replied. Any news on your end?

hugs-
Val
