Bringing Home BABY......

Following my heart.....across the ocean......to bring home a child. The story, struggle, quest, and crazy perserverance. I started, I continue, and I will not give up!!!!!!
Adopting one child won't change the world;
but for that child, the world will change

Deep thoughts.....

My Pekingnese is saying, " No mom, don't wear those boots...I don't care if it is Chistmas.....you live in Mississippi and it it not even cold". I am saying, "But Chewey, you have your coat on .....and look...we match."

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family! It is late on Christmas Eve and I should be fast asleep hoping Santa will fill my stocking because I have been such a good girl. However, I have no problem staying up until 3 am reading blogs and following the families throught their amazing journeys. I like the night and would make a fantastic vamire, apparently.
I had a very good day shopping with the kids and bought baby bedding today that is just adorable! I bought Parker a luggage set today and he was so very proud of this!

As for the process, I am currently waiting for my home study license to be renewed and should have this documents in the next several weeks. I have redone 15 other documents as they were getting a little too old and I want them all to be fresh before heading to the big time! Andrea assures me everything else looks good! My dossier is otherwise ready and will hopeful go to translation the first or second week in January. I hope to breathe a little sigh of relief when that happens! I have sent it to Andrea already, so the only things she needs now are my updated documents!!!!!!!!

Kj and Steve and Jen and Marshall have come closer to ending their journey's and the end of their stories deserves a standing ovation. Seeing the two beautiful babies together in Kaz was just amazing. Congrads to them and I know that they will have many happy days ahead !!!!!


I am soo excited to travel and meet this little girl.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Shout out to my sisters.......we will be on a jet plane to see you guys in exactly 2 days!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's go shopping girls!!!!!!

Hi there! I happened across your site and haven't had a chance to read through it all yet but I'm glad that I found it. We also have an "Emerson Grace" from Kaz and she is now 2 1/2 years old. We call her Emi.

We kept a blog during Emi's adoption which is also on the kazakh adoptive families site: www.xanga.com/eryngreg if you're interested in taking a look.

Best of luck to you on your journey and congrats!

HI Tosha,

I'm adopting a baby girl from Kaz also, if you'd like to follow along my blog address is www.whereismydaughter.blogspot.com.

I see you also are with Andrea at LMI? Me too! You need an invitation to my blog, if you want one send me an email to www.fla_shannon@yahoo.com and I'll add you.

Looking forward to reading more - you have a beautiful family and I know little Kazarina will fit right in!!!

Hi! I just happened across your site while googling the New Orleans office and the 171 timelines :) We are a fellow adoptive family in Mississippi with a beautiful daughter from China. I would love to know if you are close as we have an active adoption group in South Mississippi and we would love for you to be a part if you like.
Many prayers and good wishes are being sent your way from our family. I will be following your journey via your blog and you are most certainly invited to visit ours.
