When it all started

We started our China adoption 9/2005. Just like everyone else at the time, we were told the wait would be about a year. Well, obviously that's not the case. When we came to the realization that the wait was going to continue to extend, we decided to persue a domestic adoption. In May 2007 we signed on with an adoption attorney. We had just updated all of our paperwork for China so we were all ready with paperwork, with a few things here and there new to do. We submitted our pictures, family info. and birth mother letter. They did the website in about 2 weeks. Our site was live for a bout 3 weeks and we were chosen by a birth mother in June 2007. I will update more info about all this in a couple of days. That is the picture of our beautiful Sami. We can't help but think, if China didn't take this long we never would have even met our baby Sami. I know it's hard sometimes but this goes to show you there are reasons for this wait. We will all get the babies we are supposed to in the end!!!!
