Our Pre-Approval (PA) was posted over the weekend and the CCAA actually called our Liaison in China over the weekend to tell her. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is OFFICIAL!!! we are going to be the parents of two girls!!! Travel approvals were received by our agency and our for Maria was not among them, so we deduce that China will be holding our TA until they have Kimi's ready, too. That is good to know! Otherwise we we have been traveling within 2-3 weeks possibly!! That is so exciting to know that the process moves that fast! Its only been 2 months since our match with Maria! That's amazing! After 4 Years of being logged in this wait is almost over!!
We sent care packages to the girls last Wednesday, you know... We used Ann at Red Threadecause she had the perfect PJ care package, with GIRL pajamas, a blanket, a doll, camera, letter and she let me include three family pictures so the girls will know who we are.
This is Maria's package. Isn't the little doll so cute!
Guess what we got on Thursday!!!! New Pictures of Maria!!!! 6 of them! Isn't she so precious!!!? We were very excited to see that she was standing that is a good sign. She is 20 months old right now.
Here are the updated measurements that they sent Ann. We are thinking that she will be about a skinny 12 month size! I will try to get an update just before we go... so i can pick out some clothes to take for her.
height :79cm - 31in
weight :8.3kg - 18.3 lbs
head :43cm - 16.9 in
chest :42cm - 16.5 in
feet :11cm - 4.3 in
teeth :16
This is the care package that was sent to Kimi.
We are still waiting on an update on Kimi. But I found the yahoo group for her Orphanage and in the photo files there found some pictures from last summer of her!!! It was so exciting! She looks sooo tall and thin and sad. She is the one in the pink checked shirt with blue sandals. The Lady she is with is probably her foster mom. She was almost two and a half when these were taken. I hope that we get new updates soon!!!

Oh my goodness, Kimi looks so thin yet so beautiful. I can't wait until you get her home and get some great nourishment into her. Maria too! What beauties!
Your girls are just so precious. Ann from Red Thread is fabulous. She was so good at getting us updates and new pics. I'll be eager to see new pics. Can you believe it's finally happening? Yippee!
Wow! Congrats! I came over from RQ, so you may have answered this on your blog somewhere and I just haven't read it yet. Are the girls related? If not, how did it happen for you to be referred both?
