Photo update from China


Thanks to the wonderful world of swine flu ( I hope I can look back and laugh later), we are still waiting on our travel approval. It's hard enough for us to understand and know God has a plan...but try explaining that to a 5 year old who seems just as anxious to get his baby sister home! It just seems so weird to be going a million miles a minute...to just getting things together as you can because you know you know have time. Patience is not my strength, but I am learning more and more each day! A silver lining on this gloomy cloud, though, is that we received an update on our little girl. She is now almost 10mos. She has grown a lot since our initial photo and just so PRECIOUS!!! Being the peds nurse I am of course I go right to putting the measurements given onto a growth chart. Imagine my surprise that weight wise she is on the "non-Asian" growth chart in the first place..then imagine my shock that she is 75% for her height. Oh, well...she is from northern China!

Life in the fast lane.....REFERRAL!




Hello to all!! Yea...the Greens are finally blogging :) Our life has hit record speed in the last month! Sunday March 29th I opened my email to find the most wonderful message.. "we have locked a file of a beautiful little girl for you to review..". After accepting our beautiful little Harbour Lian, we were told it would be 2 weeks for pre-approval and then 4 mos before our Letter of Seeking Confirmation. In one week our pre-approval was sent. The next week I received a call at work informing me that our LOC was here now instead of 4 mos. SURPRISE! You're traveling in June!!! We are now at a tentative 5 weeks from travel and there seems to be so much to do...but the key is to have fun doing it!! This blog is a way for others to follow our journey, not only to bring home Harbour, but our life in general. Thanks for "traveling" with us....
