REFERRAL!!!!

Yes, you read that right! Last month we filled out the SN application with our agency. We received our referral last Friday, August 11!!!! It's been a bear keeping it secret this past week! But I wanted to wait until our LOI was offically going out. It's being sent to China today!

Here's the important info!

Chinese Name: Cheng Ling Yun
Soon to be: Allison Lingyun
DOB: 10/11/05
Kunming City CWI
Yunnan Province

She's only 10 months old! We had requested 18-24 months but God had a different plan! I am thrilled. Time to dust off the crib again! Woo hoo!

I can't post pictures until we get TA. Believe me when I tell you that she is adorable! :-)

Prayers going out to all my fellow blogger friends who are still waiting...and waiting.....and waiting.

Wait 'til we get home, nuthin', I came right over to see what was up!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you. I know what you mean about going younger than you expected. Ava was "supposed" to be about three or four. LOL! God had different plans.

I hope you made a mistake and wrote TA instead of PA. I can't wait to see her!!! So happy for you!
Hugs,
Val
