Ignore that there is mascara smeared all over my face. :)
Had to blur out her face and info but these are some proud siblings! 
Do you see these eyes? I can't stop starring into them. They are amazing!

Don't you love being on the high that a referral of your new baby girl gives you? Thank you Jesus!
Love Love Love it!!!
Hey mama, I found your blog through DS, and wanted to say hello, and send you a link to my stepmom's blog, juliamacmonagle.blogspot.com - she and my Dad adopted from Ethiopia earlier this year, and are in the process of adopting agin right now. She also blogged through her referral, and the whole process. I know how difficult it is to see that beautiful babe and still have to wait to share that sweet little face, but it is worth it in the end! Hang in there, your baby will be home soon!!!
Congratulations! Followed your blog for a few months and are so excited that you have a sweet little face to adore and dream of until the time you actually get to hold and love on her! Huge blessings sent your way!

That is so exciting! I'll be praying for this next part of your journey. You must ache to have her in your arms, and I hope this will happen soon! We're still waiting, but trusting in His perfect timing.
I am so glad that you captured that moment! You will have that memory in pictures forever now! I can't wait for you to scraopbook her journey. I just love it. Her eyes are gorgeous. I pray this next phase goes smoothly and quickly. XOXO
I can not even tell you how excited I am but then again you know how excited I am I have told anyone that will listen and cried my eye's out at the faithfulness of the father. I am just amazed that God called my sister from little ol Alabama to reach out to another country around the world and love and raise this child.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
You are giving The Word feet. I am so proud if you can't already tell! I LOVE YOU and my beautiful new niece. Trust me people those eyes are only a tease. Laura you are so wrong ha ha ha

Yah!
Oh my gosh!!! Congratulations!!!!! It's such a wonderful feeling!!!
Love all the pics! Eyes just get me!!! Hers are great!!! I agree - we need to shop ASAP. I have been told to be careful because of the uncertainty of his size and when we will bring him home. It is SO hard!!! I registered at Babies R Us on Saturday and scanned some 12 months stuff. That stinks because I want him home sooner :(.
those eyes are YUMMY!
Thats so neat. Your baby has beautiful eyes! :)
Gorgeous EYES! Almost like little Hershey kisses.
So Happy 4 U!
Thank you for the prayers and the sweet comments. Please continue praying. I am happy for you with your referral and I hope the rest of the process goes quickly for you.
congratulations on this amazing, miraculous blessing!
what beautiful eyes!

Aww - I thought about buying her something the other day but I was not sure what size she would be. We have not had a weight update since September 30. He was a little over 12 pounds then. Glad you got to engage in some retail therapy - it feels so great!
Congratulations!
I am so happy for you and your family....thank you for sharing your joy and this part of the journey with us.
bless you BIG!
