Referral Day




She has arrived in our hearts. We received a referral of a beautiful baby girl named Chen Yi Ren. We thought the day was going to pass without word, but at the eleventh hour the phone reang with the news. We were at Trader Joe's when Tommy's pager went off with his father's number and when he called Larry told him to call the agency right away. I couldn't get out of the store fast enough and almost got us killed on the way back to pick Olivia up at ballet to tell her the news. We are filled with joy!


Here we are on referral day (or in our case, day 2 of referral day) with our new extended family: Marilyn, Paul, PJ and [Christopher missing] Rhude. Our daughters are residents of the Chenzhou Social Welfare Institute and will be forever sisters.
