Here we go again! In June 2009 we started the adoption process for another baby! We are having so much fun with Emily - she is the joy of our life. I can only imagine that two kids would simply be twice the fun... and work...
In July 2010 we got a proposal for a beautiful baby girl named Le Yen Chi, born on June 12th in Bac Ninh, Vietnam. For her Canadian name we have chosen Sarah Chi MacDonald. This process has been much like Emily's, and will turn out to be about the same timeframe (17 months). The final waiting period has been harder this time as we have been staring at this precious baby for a few months now, whereas with Emily - once we saw her sweet face - it was only about 7 weeks until she was in our arms.
We should be getting a Giving & Receiving date any day now... and then we swing into full travel mode head to Hanoi for a few weeks. Emily is very excited about Baby Sarah, she seems the most excited that when we go on the plane she can bring her "back-pack" full of toys and stickers, oh and she thinks it's a fun idea that when Sarah comes home they can have a bubble bath together! At 26 months it's hard to know just how much she understands, she is very good at new concepts so something is definitely brewing under the surface!
Stay tuned...
Love you all so much - thinking of you and watching your flight - you're coming down the side of Russia at the moment.
