We are so blessed to have connected with another family who just traveled to China to adopt one of Lorelei's friends, Gianna. Her mom, Brycie, delivered a few gifts from us to Lorelei and took lots of pictures. We also now know that.... her favorite color is green (just like her mom!)....she likes to eat McDonald's hamburgers.... is happy when she gets a compliment.... and loves to draw, paint, and dance. We're counting the days, sweet girl!

| Thanks to Linda and Brycie for this suggestion! |
We also got an update from our agency, CCAI, with this great picture--she is a dancer for certain!
This one may be my favorite, though. We had sent a photo album a while back in a care package that we weren't sure actually got delivered. We really wanted to know that she knew she has a family. Then we saw this!
The excitement and encouragement that we've experienced from friends and family has been amazing! We are so grateful to you all and would love for you to pray for our daughter, especially that she continues to feel hope, happiness, and peace as she waits for us to get there.
So exciting!! I love all the pictures, but LOVE the one of her holding the album. I know that Shanna carried hers around constantly and it was well loved and in shreds by the time we met.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on those beautiful connections.

LOVE all of the photos! Lorelei looks so good and so healthy and happy! She owns a little piece of my heart! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to bring her home! :)
Jennifer, Sharon and I advocated for your beautiful Lorelei for so long and I am just thrilled that she is finally coming home! I cannot wait to follow your journey and maybe even meet you all one day - we are in SC!! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I have tears in my eyes. :) Look at her face... she has a family!!! Love it.
