We have a daughter!!!




Well after 2yrs after starting this process we can finally say we have daughter. In the wee hours of April 17, 2008 I received a strange e-mail from my agency "Jen are you awake?". Well that got me thinking, why would Pam send me an e-mail to ask me if I was awake is there wasn't something very important she wanted to ask me. Our agency is 2 hrs behind us and so I had to wait 4 hours until they opened. So I paced around got the boys ready for school and the watched the clock. Finally, they open and I stare at my e-mail praying for a message, but 4 minutes pass and nothing. I give her an extra 6 minutes just to get herself together and pick up the phone , voice mail! UGH! Hour passes finally call her partner, this whole time trying not to get my hopes up. Well Pam won't be in until later because she had to take her Mother to the doctor. UGH. Of course she can't tell me what she wants. 2 hours pass and race to pick up Cade from school and make it back to my phone. I can't take it anymore and call back and yes Pam answers. I proceed with caution and ask her about the curious e-mail she sent me. She said well I wanted to let you know that you are a MOMMY!! Ofcourse I am in disbelief so I can't remember word for word but I got the basics. What was funny is that Scott usually doesn't pay much attention to whats going on in the process but I had let him know about the strange e-mail and he must have called 3 times to ask "Did you find out anything?". So I immediately called Scott and we opened her picture together and there she was our little Lila! She was born Dang Ai Ling on November 10, 2005 and is in Shaanxi Province China. We were so excited to get to this step. I can't tell you how hard it is to wait see your child's face and 2years was about all I could take.
