Musings of a mother of many
Evangeline is doing so very well. She seems so much more relaxed today.
We have chosen to go slow with affection and to let Evangeline lead as she feels comfortable, and already she has reached out to us.
She is incredibly capable and independent. Here she is talking to the gentleman who came with her […] Read more…
We have our precious Evangeline!
We just came upstairs from dinner, and we are all going to bed, but I wanted to do a post first to tell you about our day and everything I know about our sweet Evangeline.
She is beautiful, and very frail and very tiny. She walked in ahead of the man who […] Read more…
Karla from Lifeline just emailed us at 3:59am to say that we need to be in XI’an on the 8th!!!
We will get Evangeline on the 9th in Baoji City, and Eliza on the 13th in Guangzhou!
We are waiting to hear from the travel agent. According to our estimates, we are still […] Read more…
I looked back in my emails tonight and found a message from sweet Karla whom we have worked with almost exclusively at Lifeline.

In an earlier post, I wrote about Eliza’s name. You can read that post here.
I never really officially shared about Evangeline’s name since from the time we got PA until now, our lives have been like a whirl wind. Everything moved so quickly that our heads were spinning. We just sort of threw her name […] Read more…
This is a video an advocate made of Evangeline when they were looking for her family. It is now updated with our information on the end.
The advocate is working on getting it uploaded to YouTube. In the mean time I thought I’d post it here in the Roxio version.
Enjoy.
And please share.
I do,
again and again and […] Read more…
I wanted to go for two children from the beginning. I can’t really explain exactly why, I only know that it was always two for me.
We saw Eliza’s photo on a waiting child list and just knew that she was our daughter. We sent in our LOI and received PA about two […] Read more…
