This past Friday we officially "went public" with our adoption. Since we thought this process would take another whole year, we hadn't told most of the people that we know about the adoption. So not only did we get to say "Hey, we are adopting" but also "We have a daughter already." This was pretty fun, since we are teachers and all of our colleagues asked "What did you do this summer" we got to reply "We adopted a beautiful baby girl from China!"
Also, we found out on Friday that our Log In Date (LID) is Thursday, August 12. But since our match day was Wednesday, July 21, I think that Log In Day was not as big of a deal for us as it usually is for some people. What we are eagerly waiting for is our letter that will allow us to travel to China and bring home our beautiful little girl with her penetrating onyx eyes.
I just can't wait to meet her! Y'all are going to be WONDERFUL parents. AAAAAAA so excited:-) Also, I love the name Abigail. Such a pretty name!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful blog, Erin! I'm so glad to be able to follow along on your journey! I stored the first of "Abigail's milk" the other day and thought of you all. It's a pretty cute story - I'll have to tell you about it some day!
