After almost 2 months of waiting on our PA from China (the official word that China will allow us to proceed with her adoption) it has arrived! Which means I can share her beautiful pictures. She was 7 months old in the photos. Here is our Evelyn...
I was so impressed that the SWI put her in a little dress for her referral photos, then I find out each baby has worn this dress for referral pictures for years. Sad, right? Well trust me when I say my shopping has more than made up for it...I am trying to take a break from shopping but girl clothes are too cute. Her SWI is in a climate similar to Florida, so we expect it to be warm in the spring.
Let me be honest, I am not doing well with the wait...in fact much worse than waiting for Parker. I think the difference is I know what I am missing, I had no concept with Parker. Also, this process is more complex and longer.
I do know time will speed up with the holiday season and we have a vacation to Mexico planned right after, so at least there are exciting times during the wait.
After 6 days of work and still being a SAHM I am ready for the weekend, we have lots of Halloween fun planned.

She's breath taking! I hope the holidays fly by so that it will feel like you're with her in no time.
Wow Jackie what a cutie pie! I know you can't wait to meet her, and bet Parker asks you constantly where his little sister is. I'll be saying a few prayers for you and your family that the next few months fly by!
She is precious! LOVE HER! And I agree, I had an AWFUL time with the wait the second time around. And I came to the same conclusion you did. Praying that things move quickly for you!!! That girly needs some Mama loving.
