The Road Less Traveled

I took the road less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost

THEY SAY GOD'S TIMING IS PERFECT, NEVER EARLY, NEVER LATE.

Tonight at 7:07 pm our life was forever changed. We received the call we have been waiting 312 days to get, we have a daughter.

CAMI ANH CALVIN is waiting for us in northern Vietnam, she is absolutely the most beautiful child I have ever seen, when I saw here for the first time I knew she was my girl.

I am waiting to post pictures of her until we have her in our arms in Vietnam. We hope to travel in the next 4-6 weeks to bring her home.

She will be 7 months next week.

I would post more but, frankly I am beside myself with pure joy.

    OMG! Congratulations! I have tears because I know how long you've been waiting for Kitten and she's finally here! You're right God's timing is always the right time, and although the wait can be unbareable at times, in the end when you finally see that sweet face you know that God had everything planned out perfectly! I'm sooo happy for you!! I can't wait to see pics!
