It's a...Baby Boy!!

Yes, we're still adopting our Little Man...and, yes, he's four years old.

In my search for the documentation required by our County for the reimbursement funds, I found out about Research-China. Research-China is an organization that can provide information on many of the orphanages in China and -- most important to me -- can get finding ads!

What is a finding ad, you ask? Orphanages in China are required to run advertisements in local newspapers for children found and brought to their facility. These ads must run for 60 days -- in an attempt to find the child's birth family -- before the child can officially be made available for adoption. Finding ads contain information about where and when the child was found and what belongings -- if any -- were found with the child. Finding ads also include a photo of the child!

I requested Carson's finding ad, Research-China found it IN ONE DAY, and they are sending it to me on Monday!!! The photo on the finding ad will be the first photo ever taken of Carson -- a BABY picture!!! That is SO exciting!!!

Look for the picture on the blog Monday...can't wait to see it myself!!
