I'm praying too! What a wonderful thing it is that your family is doing. I know you will all be blessed by the new addition!

My cousin, Rick, and his wife, are in the process of adopting a little girl from China. Unfortuantely, due to SARS, their trip to get her has been put on hold until August. They are beside themselves with worry and concern and want to get her home soon. In sort of a neat twist of fate, while they were going through the adoption process (because my cousin's wife was unable to carry a baby full term - lots of heartbreak there), she ended up pregnant. She carried this baby to full term and he was born about one month ago! They will be a bulging family by August and they are simply delighted with the prospect.

I hope your mother can come home with the child. I know it would be heartbreaking for both of them if she can't.
