God is so amazing! And His Timing is not always our Timing:):) - Boy, we sure weren't expecting to get a referral already but we are really excited and can't wait to bring our new daughter home! She is perfect! It is so cool to look back to see how He has had her planned for us... Beginning with Kay and not being able to adopt her because our paperwork wasn't ready in time and putting adoption on our hearts again - then going to China and falling in love with some children only to find out that they were already matched or had severe special needs - then coming home and being matched with a daughter which has all of the things that I had been praying for: age, special need, and in a foster home - God is soooo Good! With getting a referral so soon - it was also very cool to see how the Holy Spirit spoke to both Lance and myself separately (he was in Seattle this weekend - which is also cool b/c i was supposed to be with him but b/c we just got a puppy - i stayed home to puppy sit and in turn was able to get the email referral!!) We are really excited to be on this adoption journey again and to see God's hand at work.
So.... Here she is! Due to CCAA regulations we can not give specific details that may identify her - if you would like to know more, you can email me directly (kirstvick@hotmail.com) and i can try to let you know more:)
Her chinese name means pure and peace as water. She was born in April 2007 and was abandoned at the gate the hospital. She has been fostered by a family since July 2007. She had surgery to repair her cleft palate in April 2008. Her report looks like she is developing very normally and will fit in perfectly with our family. We feel so blessed and can't wait to bring her home.
We are praying about a name for her... we are thinking that it may be Maylin R.......(chinese name) Vickerman (it fits with the name pattern that we have for the other kiddos: Taylor Ryen, Brayden Reade, Hayleigh Rae Fukai- it's neat that her chinese name starts with an "R" and fits the pattern already - we may also add an american middle name - not sure though...)
In the next few weeks we should be able to put a picture up.
We are hoping to get our fingerprint approvals in the next few weeks and then we can get our dossier certified and authenticated... Then we wait for Travel approval etc.. etc... It could be sometime this spring when I/we travel:)
