A Few Changes

Our agency, Children's Hope International in St. Louis, has told us that we can't use Xiao-Ling's photo or put in anything identifying about her until we get the official letter from China and we have officially replied that we do indeed want her as our daughter. So I did a little scrubbing and CHI says the blog is now good to open up to the world.

I was looking at the official CHI blog and it has an entry on the PBS show Arthur. It seems that the character of Binky is not only getting a little sister on this Friday's episode, she's being adopted from China! I told Harry about it and said I want to see the show with him, only to have him waver between not wanting to see it at all and not wanting to see it with me.

And speaking of Harry, he just came in and wanted to add a few words:

i love mei-mei and frogs and everything

He's feeling a little conflicted about this whole process, which is understandable. He's getting a little sister but at the same time he will no longer be the only child in our family. We have been talking with him and trying to get him involved as much as possible. We built his sister's bed together and will build her bookshelf together as well.

More to come...
