Drum roll, please!

We have been matched with another baby girl!! She is in Bac Ninh province in Northern Vietnam. She was born on February 12, 2008, and at 2 months old, was just 7.5 pounds and 21 inches long. She is perfect.

We are in love all over again. How do you fall in love with a picture of a baby you've never met, thousands of miles away in a country you've never visited? The bigger question is how can you not? We should travel in early fall to Vietnam, and we couldn't be more thrilled. So far, everything is moving as planned, no pitfalls, no delays....all we can do is hope and pray that it stays that way. It took us a long time to tell Connor the story of what happened to Kamryn -- it's so hard to write her name still -- but he understands as much as a 5 year-old can. And as a little boy who I think is wiser than his years, he can comprehend so much more. When we told him that Kamryn was going home with another family, he only had one question, "Will she be safe?" And once I assured him of that, he was ok. He's been through a lot with this adoption journey, too, and he has moments of frustration as we all do.
