  16. No Fair!!! I can't see the picture; all I get is a red X. I think based on the comments and the name of the picture that you are jumping on the roller coaster again. Congrats!

  36. Stefanie –

    I'm so envious, I could spit.

    Truly. I don't know how you do it…obviously just trusting that it will all work out as you keep adding to your family. We want to adopt again, have even started secretly saving money, but I can't even tell my parents about it!

    You amaze me!

  39. If you slow down just a teeny tiny bit, we might be in China together! I just got the I-797C letter yesterday. If I were in charge, I'd make up really nice, happy names for these forms. Maybe the "You're Almost There" form, which would be followed by the "Hip Hip Hooray" form.

    So, Hip Hip Hooray to you!

  41. I just sent mine off yesterday! Can't wait for that envelope to come in the mail! I'll just point to your family of 11 when my extended family falls off their chairs at the thought of us having 7! Thx for deflecting the blow!

  50. I am so very happy for you! But, the single mommies need a chance to go back to China to adopt again too! This will be your third since we were there that summer – ahh – so not fair – but so very grateful that there are terrific families like yours to bring 'em home!

  51. So, so exciting! Can't wait to see who God has selected for your family!
    I had secretly hoped though that our timing would be a bit closer and that I'd finally get to meet you in GZ this time…

  62. Perhaps you have already done this in a recent post, but I would be curious to know how you foster attachment with your children when the adoptions seem to piggy back upon one another.

  64. So exciting! Congratulations! I cannot wait to hear all of the deatils!!!!

    I am so in awe of your ability to do all that you do. I would like to come spend a weekend at your house to learn. Your obedience to God's plan is beautiful and inspiring.

    I will admit though…I kinda feel like a big fat loser when I feel like I have a lot on my plate! I mean really…you ROCK!

Even my Kate is sitting here going, "How come they are going to have another little one? All I want is a sister from China like me!" Feeling like a poopy head!!

  87. Wow, how exciting. I can't wait to hear more. We recently received our LSC/LOA and can not wait. I looked back at your hotel reviews, and it helps a lot, thank you. Can you possibly give me (or everyone if you wish) some tips on the gifts we need to bring? How many do we need, and what to bring? I am so confused about this.
