And of course the pose with the statue - way to start her early in front of the bar. :) I cried when I heard about the doctor's appointment. Remember when we talked about it possibly being a mistake and perhaps it was just a build-up? It is just another miracle of this entire experience - we are so happy. It's amazing that your journey is almost over - 2 more days until you leave to go home. You must be very excited and surely Joseph is counting the minutes as well. We can't wait to hear about the cruise - it sounds like a wonderful experience. Of course - all of it has been amazing so it's hard to narrow down one thing better than the next. Bottom line - you have your daughter and that is the best part. The experince is all an added bonus so that you can share them with Lily when she gets older. Good luck at the consulate - everything will be fine and soon Lily Rose will be headed home to grandma, joseph, uncle ralph, aunt gina, and all of your wonderful family and friends. A beautiful life she will have! Thanks for keeping your eyes out for Starbucks - I will be so excited if they have a mug but honestly - this whole blog and reading about your journey snhas been more of a memory to me than the mug will ever be. But thanks for thinking of me! Can't wait to talk to you - I have written a book so going to sign off. We have a lot going on here but we will talk to you when you get back. We miss and love you guys!

My husband and I along with our 2 daughters have just begun our journey to adopt a little girl from China as well. Reading about your journey has helped me understand a little better how the whole process works. <BR/>I was suprised to see that it took under a year for you guys to get through the whole process! We were told it will take aprox. 2 years. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, Congratulations!<BR/>I look forward to hearing more about Lily Rose!!<BR/><BR/>Linette from CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25459466.post-1171387209314946562007-02-13T12:20:00.000-05:002007-02-13T12:20:00.000-05:00Hi Lisa,Anthony & Lily, Well it is Tuesday afterno...Hi Lisa,Anthony & Lily, Well it is Tuesday afternoon here and we are getting some bad weather.

Also that Lily Rose had such a wonderful health exam...especially the report on her ears! I have really enjoyed going back and reading your past posts. Like I said on the plane "makes me want to go adopt a baby from China" I will keep up with your story. I have a couple friends working your flight home. I did email Theresa and told her you guys would be on there. (She was the tall blonde on the flight over to Beijing with us.) However she will be working in the front on this trip. I hope you are able to get row 32 DEF it would be more comfortable for you. Hoping you have a safe,great flight home. <BR/>I will keep checking in.<BR/>Once again...a great story.<BR/>Sandie-from ContinentalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25459466.post-1171381009960386642007-02-13T10:36:00.000-05:002007-02-13T10:36:00.000-05:00I was given your site by my sister-in-law Connie. ...I was given your site by my sister-in-law Connie.
