Adoption News & Katie pic

Waiting is hard.  Tiny little pieces of information take on the greatest significance.  Which is why I was so incredibly THRILLED to discover this video in a search.

Taken Christmas 2010.  Katie was 3 months old then, so I thought there was a small chance she would be in the video, but at least I could see more of her facility.

Guess who is on the right side of the tree in orange at 42 seconds?  My baby!  To be honest, it's the nanny that I recognized, lol.


So if you look at this week's Katie picture, you'll recognize the nanny, too.


This picture was taken in May 2012.

Your prayers last week have been heard, thank you!  We learned that we are now OOT (out of translation) which means we should be getting our LOA (letter of approval) in about a month.  Unless Chinese New Year slows things down, which is understandable, since the offices in China close down from Feb. 9-17.  Hopefully, the workers will want to clear their desks and get a big batch done before the holiday, and then they'll come back to work rested and refreshed and ours should be near the top of the stack when they return!
