We were about as stressed as we could possibly be so after checking all the boards and not seeing any info, Scott called our agency - they still had not heard any news. They said they would call their Agency and get back to us....so we decided to not wait by the phone biting our nubs off - fingernails are way past gone - so we took a stroll to the Chinese restaurant down the street. About the time our dinner was served Cody calls us on the cell phone...our agency just called and they have "Good News"!!! So we continue to eat...after all this wait do we really think they have a referral ready??? Anticipation builds and eating is fruitless - the food has no taste any more. We book it out of there and practically run most of the way home. Scott calls the agency back - no answer! He calls again - whew! They pick up! We have a daughter!!! Her stats:
Name: Tong Min Se
Born: 12/20/05
Jiangxi Province
We are already so in love!!! We should get photos tommorrow.
Oh, and our fortunes:
Scott - your friend needs attention (???)
Jared - You'll stay a very healthy person (so true - he LOVES veggies)
Kim - No one will fight against your luck

Congratulations!!!!!! Oh I cannot wait to see the photos (I guess you're probably even more anxious, haha). Enjoy your celebrating!
WWWWOOOOOHHHHHOOOOO!!!!!! OH finally some good news today!!! I was hoping it would be my own news, but hey anything to make me jump around and carry on!
I can't wait for pictures!! Congratulations!!
Yeah! 12/20 is my daughters birthday too! Christmas babies are defiantly a blessing!
Kim, I am so eager to see the photos of your new daughter! You will have to post them on your blog as soon as you can!
(My oldest daughter was born in JiangXi province eleven years ago. My son was born in Taiwan and our youngest daughter hails from AnHui province--ages 8 and 4, respectively).
I am always most interested in referrals from JiangXi and AnHui...
simply because those are the places our daughters roots began in and the places we know first hand from our adoption travel. It continues to amaze, me, though, how children from JiangXi often LOOK like they are from JiangXi and children from AnHui often LOOK like they are from AnHui! Maybe because there isn't a lot of moving around within the country in China like there is in the U.S., there is more of a tendency for various regions to have unique physical characteristics in the population??? (It isn't just me, either...I read on a group web site recently that I follow, an account of a family who returned to AnHui to adopt a fourteen year old girl (they had already adopted her fourteen year old orphanage "room-mate" a year and a half earlier). On their adoption trip to AnHui, they took along their old daughter and new daughter's good friend (also adopted from that orphanage a year or so earlier)...so, in GuangZhou (GuangDong province) they had three AnHui girls with them (their two adopted daughters and the daughters' friend). Even though the girls were not SPEAKING, the elevator operator, the moment he laid eyes upon them, exclaimed, "Are your girls from AnHui?" He said, "I am from AnHui and they LOOKED like AnHui girls!" So, it isn't just me!
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!!, and I am looking forward to seeing the photos!
