What a beautiful story!! Thanks for sharing this site...I'll be sure to bookmark and keep up with your new daughter's arrival!

I have a strong connection with adoptions for some reason. I don't know anyone who has been adopted - but every time I see or hear an adoption story my heart warms and I have such a wonderful feeling. I wonder if I really am being led into the adoption field as a career choice?!!? I don't know if I could handle the schooling as most colleges would require secular ideas in their sociology classes...but the thought sticks with me. Reading your story has again thrown some fuel to the fire...

Also, the crib you FINALLY have home is gorgeous!! I love the rich, deep coloring and the bedding material is just perfect Mary Joyce is already one of the luckiest little girls I "know"
