Yes, we’ve got a secret to share…
…it’s a really good one, too.
After patiently waiting for 14 months,
we received a referral for a sweet baby girl back in January!
We can’t share too many details publicly until we receive final approval just before we can bring her home, but our little Cowgirl is currently living in Korea with her loving foster family and she will be 1 in May. I can’t post any pictures of her face either, but trust me, our Lil’ CG is quite the little beauty, if I do say so myself. I mean, have you ever seen such perfect little feet? (Besides Lil’ CB’s of course!)
So, what happens next? We wait. And wait. And wait and wait and wait and wait. It will be quite a long, long while until our daughter (our daughter!!) will be home and actually standing beside us…we’re hoping that she will be home before the end of 2015, and optimistically praying that it will be closer to the Spring of 2015.
It will, for sure, be a long and hard wait, but as I’ve reminded myself again and again, what’s 2 years in the span of a lifetime together?
So, until then, we’ll wait and pray and love her from afar until she can come home and complete our little family.
I mean, it’s not like, we’ve got our hands full or anything in the meantime…
(Do I look totally unfazed? Because I am. Because this pretty much happens all day long. )
*All photos taken by my incredibly talented friend, Sandra, of Three Continents Photography. Originally, I wasn’t going to do a big announcement, but after she took these photos, I just had to share them! So, many apologies for the Cowgirl family photo overload!!!
