Aunt x 9!



We got some really exciting news this weekend! After 4 + years of paperwork and waiting, and waiting, and waiting... My brother and his family FINALLY got their baby referral from China this weekend!!


They have 3 children already. Carli, Emily, and Tate. Amy, my sister-in-law, has just always had a desire to adopt one of these precious little babies that are abandoned so thoughtlessly and so over 4 years ago, they made the decision to go through the process.


Thinking at the time that it would take approximately 18 months, it's been a super LONG process.


But Lilly, my soon-to-be new niece has been assigned to the family and will hopefully be picked up and brought to her new home in June.


She was born on August 20, 2007. She's a very healthy and happy little baby girl! We're all really excited!


So Welcome Lilly to the family! She makes my ninth niece/nephew!

that is so awesome! she looks like a cutie...and what a lucky girl to have such a great auntie :).
i have often considered adoption but the whole process is quite daunting. we had looked at guatemala and then at the beginning of this year they made international adoption next to impossible.

That's so amazing! Congrats to everyone. I have a feeling you aren't going to be able to say no to that super cute face!

Kellye, this is so awesome! so happy for your family! my mother in law and her husband were one of the first to adopt a baby girl from China almost 15 years ago. Zoe is an amazing girl. She is super smart, sweet and an incredible swimmer. very cool!
