Retail Therapy

Today was our fingerprint renewal appointment in Birmingham.
We checked in at 9:02 (glad I don't have to drive in that traffic every day) and out at 9:24 so it was the perfect opportunity to do a little retail therapy at the Summit!!
We got a few cute outfits, a sweet pajama set and a book. I'm trying not to go overboard until I get more measurements but I couldn't resist a few things. They are all 18m but they look big!

What's in a name?

I guess I never explained our name choice:

William is my dad and granddad's name
Reed is Tim's middle name and his dad's middle name.

William Reed covers dad, granddad, Tim and Tim's dad.
I never had the chance to meet Tim's dad, but I know he would be proud!

L I D !!!!!

We have our log-in-date !!! Sept 10
Only 5 days after DTC (dossier to China).

We also got out paperwork in the mail today from CIS . Our fingerprints expire in November so it looks like we'll be getting them done again (3rd time).
Lisa, you should be getting yours soon too!

Care package

I really want to send little man a care package but I don't want to do anything to upset the apple cart. What do you think? Is it ok to send a package before getting LOA ?

DTC

Tim just spoke with the agency and we will be dossier-to-China today or tomorrow!

Tonight I was thinking about our journey and everything we have been through to get to this point and I realized; Yu Jun was born almost 9 months after we started our adoption process.
All this time we have been waiting we did not realize that he was conceived only a month after we started our paperwork. I pray that his birth mother somehow finds comfort and peace and could be reassured that we love him dearly. We will always be grateful that she chose life.
