Don't let the daisy's fool ya! I am not running for office, nor do I teach a Sunday school class. We started this blog to document our family's adoption journey...a journey that is by no means filled with cotton candy and unicorns. It is fueled 100% by love, but I am learning that it is very HARD...every day...and this blog is my therapy I guess...like I have time to go to a real shrink! If your tender ears are offended by my occasional rant or a few Bible curse words here and there...this probably isn't the blog for you.

What a great surprise!

Yesterday I was sitting at my desk eating lunch scrolling through blog updates by other adoptive moms in various stages of the adoption process.  Mamma Lisa was journaling their whole adoption trip to get their second daughter, Savannah from the Wuhan orphanage.  Yep, the same orphanage where LuciQ is from!  Not all adoptive families choose to visit the orphanage but they did - and I am so glad!!!

Right there in the middle of her blog post I read: 
 We were taken around the area orphanage that was similiar to clinic or mini hospital. Visited the room that housed the very sick babies. Many with heart conditions. We saw the therapy rooms and many other medical rooms. We did run into a group of children.. One of the little girls who have visiable burns on her head and face is being adopted.


That was our Luci! Of course I immediately emailed her and she got right back to me and said she met her and she was adorable and happy and sweet.  It was so great to know someone actually laid eyes on her and can confirm she is there and happy and waiting for us!  Unfortunately there is a non negotiable rule about taking pictures in the orphanage...DO NOT DO IT...or you will be asked to leave...so I knew there would be no pics but I was just thrilled to know that Lisa had met her. 

Hold the phone....Lisa must be a freakin ninja with her camera because look what landed in my inbox!
That is our Luci!, the little boy next to her is her foster brother.

These were taken May 25, that is just a few weeks ago!  Ohhh to be able to just jump on a plane!!!

Now that we can see her standing next to other people we can see how tiny she is! Can't wait to have her here with us!

THANK YOU LISA!!!!

On their trip they also visited their daughter Sienna's orphanage - they permitted her to take pictures so there are lots of sweet faces waiting on their mommies and daddies.
