Happy News for Angie and Mike

A week before Jay and I left last year to go get Ali from China we started to finally buy her some clothes.. we finally knew a size to buy.
Chase was with us in the store and he really wanted to help but he continued to pick out really UGLY clothes and I continued to tell him he was picking the wrong sizes!LOL
Well there were these two ladies in the store also going through the little girl clothes listening and watching this go on with Chase. Finally one of the women asked me what we were buying all the clothes for and I told her we were going to China to get our daughter. She then said her daughter, the other lady shopping was also going to China to get a daughter.
Come to find out Angie only lives about eight minutes from my front door to hers and that we were both using GWCA.. except we logged in Sept 05 and she logged in Oct 06... so you know where this is going.. Angie and her husband Mike were in for the LONG wait for a referral!!
But yesterday, my cool and calm friend came over to the house, unannounced, to tell me she wanted to show me something... I was a bit puzzled because she always calls and I knew she had to work in a short while...
She asked me if she could pull something up on my computer.. and then said she wanted to show me an email.. I was still puzzled....
GWCA had called her yesterday with a REFERRAL on a BEAUTIFUL little girl!!!
Mallory was standing here and we were all three jumping and crying!!!
Angie is over at the doctor's office as I write having the babies chart looked over.. but she is a healthy little girl with a clept lip/palate and she is just beautiful! So I am sure the doctor is going to give an okay on this end!!
And Angie wants Jay and I to go to China with them!! Which really makes me feel loved!!!
Angie's little girl if from the province just north of Ali's province in the center of China.. and the two girls are about 11 months apart... PERFECT PLAYMATES!!!
CONGRATS TO ANGIE AND MIKE!! You are going to be wonderful parents!

Things are starting to look up!!!!

I am sorry to everyone reading my blog that I took a month off. I just didn't have anything nice to say and I didn't want to say anything nasty.. and I was hurt and upset about the way all of this was handled.
I am still in contact with the agency about this whole thing. What a mess.

But on the brighter side!!! There is a brighter side when you have been bumped and bruised and slammed against the wall in International Adoption!

I have decided not to give up. Which those of you who know me, know I will not give up until I feel it was done to the best of every one's ability...
And for this part, the best of MY ability is to try to find our last child myself.

I have a great new friend that has been giving me a lot of information on Taiwan. Because even though our Agency isn't helping us, we do qualify for Taiwan by all LAWS..and we can adopt if we can find a child.

So I have contacted an attorney in Taiwan who will help me once a child is found and my great new friend told me about a private run home that helps the children.

I can't get into details right now.. because I want to make sure this is all going to happen but the woman and her husband that work with these pregnant moms is talking to our attorney about a young girl that will give birth in June.. to a girl!!

That is all I am saying!! I just need all the prayers out there that this is the child we will have!!!
