My STORK did arrive!!

Sorry to keep you all on pins & needles these past few weeks!!! Trust me it hasnt been easy to keep my mouth zipped. I would'nt have done it to you all, but when you deal with the Governement you have to abide by their rules!!!

YES, I received a match!!! Yes, I have a daughter!!! But since I didnt get an EXACT match with my daughter (as per what I was requesting vs proposed) I had to get an adendum done to my homestudy. And after "key" people returning from holidays I can now say....today I received my Provincial Approval and my daughters proposal should be flying from my agency in Ottawa tonight to the Sask Gov't in Regina. They will then forward it to my Social Worker to "officially" propose her to me....and of course I will sign her acceptance papers!!

So hopefully by friday I can share all the juicy details about Channing and of course her sweet face!!!

Note: This is NOT Channing, I just could'nt resist posting it!!
Ohhh....and if your my Secret Pal......you may want to wait until I post her referral before you shop for this months gifts!!!!

Click on the link with her name and it will take you to http://redthreadart.com/

you can pick the boy alpabet from there or the girl alphabet. I actually saved the letters and I plan to laminate them and use them for matching games, concentration, etc.

They are way cute.

I am so excited to hear good news again for soemone I know the more people I know going to China the closer I must be getting, right?

Hi Kim,
I thought that I posted a comment, and it looks like it didn't come through proper.
Can't wait to see see a pic of Channing. Question, if it is a boy, are you still going to call him Channing?
Thanks for posting on my blog. In answer to your question, would it be o.k to hold off posting it on your blogroll until we are a little further ahead in the adoption? We arn't out of the review room yet and I don't want to jynx it. I hope this is ok.
Enjoy your day, I am so excited for you!!
Take care,
Patti (and Joël)
