We have big news!!!! Or, How Disney World really is a magical place!

Well, we have some pretty big news to share.  A few days ago, we were spending the day at Animal Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando.  The Director of the China Program at our adoption agency called and said, "You didn't think you could go on vacation and not get a call from us, did you?"  She was calling to give us the details about our next little girl!  Her first name will be Kenzi and we haven't yet decided on a middle name.

She just turned 1 year old and she has an unrepaired cleft lip and palate.  This is the same condition that Jacinda had, but Jacinda's lip was repaired while she was still in China.  We are unsure if Kenzi will have her lip repaired before she comes home or not.  That is something we will be discussing with our agency and the staff in China.

The news is still sinking in for us ..... we were totally shocked to receive a referral this week.  It's been a whirlwind these past few days ......... shopping, going to Disney World, seeing family, consulting with doctors, doing adoption paperwork!!!  We're just absolutely over the moon!

Travel ...... our agency is saying that we should travel 4-8 months from now.  We are really hoping to go by the end of this year.
