Our Little Ladybug

Andrea from CCAI said she looks so sweet and healthy with really big cheeks and some fuzzy hair! We were able to conference in Kip and email him a picture. I am going to the agency now to see two more pictures and say yes for our family!

We hope to travel in 6-8 weeks and stay for two weeks in China before bringing Kendy home by year-end. The next step is to schedule an appointment with the US Consult in Guangzhou, China where we will be issued a Visa to bring Kendy into the USA.

Taylor is so excited to finally get her little sister, her mei mei (may may). The paperwork process actually began in January of 2006 and China received and logged us in on May 16, 2006. The wait has been at times unbearable, but also we were given time to be with Taylor and that is a treasure we will always cherish.

Terry, Kip & Taylor

  7. Congratulations on your Guangdong referral. When you are ready to get her newspaper finding ad (with a photo months younger than her referral photo!) come visit us. We also have a DVD of her orphanage, etc.

    All the best for a speedy trip!

  8. Congrats on your daughter! She is beautiful. We adopted our daughter from Lianjiang SWI 9 months ago. She came to us so well taken care of. My husband was able to visit the SWI so we have lots of pictures and video. If you're interested, our Gotcha movie is here: http://vimeo.com/10596825 and it has pictures and footage of the orphanage, nannies and directors. Congrats again!
