Update

Last week we sadly announced that we had to turn down our referral. In the middle of all of this our update from Lady bugs in Love came in. We ordered it Sept 1st. The pictures we received did not quite match the update we got from the CCAA. But through more investigation, we found that she does have some medical issues that are severe. We are very sad as she is only 12lbs at 15months old. She was the same weight when she was 7months. This has been gut wrenching. As she will always be our daughter. I will be posting some more of her new photos here soon. As updating her page is very difficult for me. I can barely see through my tears to type.

Our Daughter

Yesterday we received an update on our daughter. It seems that during her cleft lip repair surgery she suffered some trauma to her brain. She is no longer responding to people. She seems to be in a coma like state. She no longer sits, can not move her arms to reach for toys. She does not smile and she is no longer speaking or making any sounds. She does not show expression when held or played with. She was very tiny and under weight to begin with and her update says she has lost muscle tone. I can only imagine how thin and tiny she is now. With this new news and her declining health we have stopped the adoption. We are very sad, and heart broke to share this with everyone. We still consider her our daughter and love her very much. But know we can not take on what she requires, and at this point not sure if she will make it. Please keep our little angel in your prayers. We hope to continue another adoption sometime in the future, but for now we are still trying to gather our hearts around what is happening.

We had our travel meeting with our agency yesterday. We are waiting on our TA, but our agency believes we will travel around Nov 5th. We are very excited. We have requested an update from China. We found out that her lip has been repaired already, we are still waiting for new pics.

NO Baby Yet

Well another SN list came and gone in June. We did not get matched. Not sure when the next list comes out. We are praying for the begining of July. It seems that travel time for SN is going very quickly. So we are praying to be matched soon. We would love to have our daughter home before Christmas. Well the begining of July is only a few days away so we are getting very excited. Though I try to keep myself from getting to excited as to the chance we won't get matched, but it is so hard. Hopefully my next post will be about our daughter........
