    As the years pass, we have watched you patiently working hard to make your dream a reality. Watching your progress through the application stages and into pre-motherhood, has been truly amazing.

    Seeing your strength in how hard you fought and never giving up hope is just a small indication of the loving, caring, compassionate mother that you are about to become!

    We are so proud of you, as your journey through the adoption process comes to a resolution, we are extremely excited about welcoming, your daughter and our new cousin into the family!!!

    Emma, Riley, Sabrina and I will be patiently waiting Hadley's arrival.

    What a beauty! And I just LOVE the name Hadley (sadly, I got seriously out-voted by the rest of the family when I suggested it for our daughter).

    Congrats! She's beautiful. My little sister is from Shanxi province. It's very rural, very polluted, but gosh, I love the place. No where near as Westernized as Beijing, Guangzhou, etc.
