DERBY!!

Welcome Back!!!!

She is just absolutely adorable!! You should feel very blessed!

And YOU!! Wooo Hooo! You go girl! You look amazing!!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments.
My Daughter is a hands full but I'd do it again. As a matter of fact we are going to do it again. We can summitt another Dossier to China as early as Jan 04. It takes about 14 months to process, but we are going to do it again.

Where's Jennifer??? I saw Pippy had posted......

Thanks so much, the encouragement it what you need to succeed in weight loss. If the people around out make you feel good, you will feel more motivated!! Miranda has motivated me, the adoption was my focus. I did every thing I needed to do to prepare to be a good Mommy. And my first focus was on being healthy.

Hang in there, it's a life long battle, but we can win!!

Hi Derby!
I am thrilled to see your posts and pictures! It looks from the patriotic picture that you've already finalized? Congratulations on all of it. Seeing it makes me feel like it's REALLY going to happen to us soon.

I'm in tears. I'm so glad you updated us. I can only imagine what it's going to feel like to see our baby for the first time!

And congrats on your amazing weight loss. You're truly an inspiration in many ways.

Angi,
Are you adopting from China? If so when did you send your Dossier?

Let me know..... Feel free to ask me questions. The wait is awful but talking about it helps..


Derby

Derby,
No, I am adopting from S. Korea. We got our Homestudy approval on 3/26 and are on the official waiting list. S. Korea is much faster than China and we expect to bring our baby home toward the end of the year.
We expect a referral after the end of July.

thanks for asking!
Angi

derby she is beautiful, and you look great! I'm glad that everything went well for you.

Angi, it must be so exciting to be preparing! Good luck.

Your picture show was far from boring. You are a picture of hope and such a beautiful child. Keep up the good work!

Congrats Derby
 

Wow you look amazing. That is wonderful news about your beautiful daughter as well. She is adorable. Love her to pieces and enjoy.

Mine are now 5 yrs and the twins are soon to be 4. Time sure does fly by quick.

You have done so well! The pictures don't lie do they? Congrats on baby Miranda. I know I have said this in the past but that name is a favorite of mine. If my son had been a girl that was the name I had chosen! Good luck to you!!
