stay tuned for more...barely had time to post these. She is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!
"Hey, if she's gets to be a
PRINCESS
then I get to be the
QUEEN!"
I'm a single mom with an amazing daughter! It all started when I decided I was tired of waiting to be a mom. In my search to find a little girl who needed a mommy I was led to the China International Adoption program. I actually started the process in 2005, got my paperwork to China on 1/13/06. China accepted my paperwork and gave an LID of 2/18/06. After waiting 33 months, I finally received my referral on 11/5/08 for the most beautiful baby in the world. She spent her first 11 months in Southern China just above the South China Sea and now she is home with her mama!! I hope you enjoy reading & looking at my blog as much as I enjoyed creating it. During the wait I was a research junkie for all thing IA so please check out all the links in the sidebar under "Find it Here"...it will show you the posts pertaining to that category. Best wishes to all. Stephe

Congratulations!! You look like one happy Mama to a your little cutie girl.
Congratulations, Mama!
Your little Giorgia is every bit as beautiful as her pictures promised she'd be. She's about as big as I guessed she'd be from the recent pictures, too (sure hope you didn't pack any 9 month clothing for her!).
The handprint thing is new for our SWI since November 2006. Sure wish we'd had that done -- how cool!
Enjoy your beautiful, darling sweet princess!
Congratulations! She's beautiful!
Congratulations! She is just beautiful!! Can't wait to hear about your day :o)

Congratulations on your precious Giorgia! She is beautiful!!! Wishing you much happiness as you begin this wonderful journey of motherhood!
Congratulations! She's gorgeous.
