"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

This is the cutest little "skullie" hat that I've ever seen! However, I must admit that it doesn't even compare to the brightness and sparkliness of Miss G herself.
We're so enjoying reading about all her "firsts". Brings back such precious memories.
Thanks so much,
Carol and Taylor
Hi Stephe!
Giorgia is so precious! I love looking at all her cute, sweet pictures! I LOVE all her bling! I miss you guys already so much!
Karen
Very sparkly and very adorable!
Kim
Stephe! She is absolute adorable! I love all the pictures and ooh and ahhh all the way down the posts. Glad to hear she is sleeping through the night, Erin did it in about 5 days. That makes things so much easier!
Giorgia is so adorable in all her piccies, love that you post so many as she's so fun to see.
Soooo cute!
I love every single picture of your princessa.
She's just the cutest little thing! Your photos remind me so much of my first days and weeks home with 1st daughter almost 8 years ago... heaven on earth! Enjoy every moment of it while you can. They grow up so fast!! Anita from CDS
