Adoption News!!
Some of you have asked from time to time about our adoption and some of you are wondering and others are saying adoption you have a baby???....
Well to start out I'll go back a little... we had decided to adopt from China put in our papers got our LID which is Log In Date and the wait got longer and longer, found out I was pregnant, had Paislee (that should catch you up a little)
The wait for a NSN which is non-special needs adoption is 3-5 years, I would say more like 8 realistically but who knows. Anyway I get updates from our agency and check them out from time to time and something made me go into the waiting child part of our agencies website. I kept getting "pulled in" as you might say. The wait for the Waiting Child is about 18 months or less depending on what you put down that you would accept could be shorter or longer and how many people are in front of you. If you want a boy the wait is really short. Yes China has boys that need a family!!
Anyway I looked at the website for a couple of days and then I saw "her". I started shaking and got really hot and sent an email asking to look at her file. I thought it would be just a random thing. I called Tyler and told him I found our China baby. He laughed and I showed him her picture when he got home. We got an email back saying that another family was already looking at her file and that they're was a waiting list and if she wasn't taken by another family...then we could look at it. So I figured oh she'll get adopted she is a cutie!! I would go back to look at the website each week to see if she'd been adopted or spoken for and I hadn't seen anything yet then kindof forgot about it. So about a month to a month in a half later I get an email asking if we would like to look at "Zoie's" file that we had requested I said yes and called Tyler told him she wasn't adopted and we had a file to look at. He said he would do it in a minute if we had the money but we don't so.... anyway we looked over her file our agency said we had about a week to get back to them, to take it to a doctor and talk to our social worker anyway we were going to Disneyland in a week so we were freaking out a little. We sent in our LOI after we got back from Disneyland after much thought and prayer and knew this little girl was supposed to be in our family.
(If you are still hanging in here reading you are a real trooper and hopefully get to see a picture of her)
When we got back we sent in our LOI which is Letter of Intent to China and then wait for PA which is Pre-Approval from China which we got today!! Next is Letter of Acceptance then Travel Approval then we leave to pick her up.

Huntington Beach
Paislee loved the beach. I think she was glad to finally get down and crawl. The sand was soft not like the hard cement at Disneyland.
Tyson and I think Colin hanging out as the waves come in.
Siena and Paislee
Disneyland
Trey just didn't like the characters too much but he loves Buzz and Woody (usually) so I had to drag him up cause I wanted a picture.
This is in the Bug's Life part of California Adventure. Not sure when they made it so an adult had to ride with them but they still had fun on the ladybug ride smashing into Grandma Patti and Tyson.
I made Dakota go up with the boys. He didn't want to but he was a good sport about it. Paislee was sleeping.
Coming down Grizzly Rapids. Ty got soaked. Trey and Tyson loved it.
The kids hanging out for a photo shoot with Goofy. Trey didn't want to go up and Paislee was asleep.
