9 months DTV

Sadly, no news to report- zip, nada, nothing. It has been a very rough week for our family and we are in desperate need of some good news.

Hopeful

Although we have not yet received our referral, we have been told that it should be in the next few days. We are so ready! Nine months of being DTV has really taken its toll on our family.

8 months DTV!

Yes, I'm still counting! Please oh please let this be the month that we get Mya's referral!

Beauty School

As a mother of only boys, I haven't had any opportunities (that they know of) to do what I call "girlie hair". So I enlisted the aid of my two good friends to teach me how to do Mya's hair when the time comes. We crimped, we braided, we headbanded and clipped. Now that I think that I might finally have a handle on all of this "hair stuff", Mya will probably turn out to be a baldie! From the sounds of it, we should know soon!

"Here's your sign"

Last night there were several referrals, and sadly we weren't among them. Nobody can officially tell us what the hold up is for sure and its begun to take its toll. Just when I was starting to doubt whether we would ever have our little baby to hold , God sent me a sign. Today, two of my first graders were playing "hangman" together during free choice and the only three letters they had time to guess were M Y A. They had no idea that they had just spelled our daughter's name, and were tickled pink when I told them. So for now, my hope has been restored. I think God might have something up his sleeve!

7 Months DTV!

Things are starting to look a little brighter in the world of Vietnam adoptions. Let's hope that we won't have to wait too much longer to see our daughter's sweet little face!
