The First Wait Is Over

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley

We got our referral this afternoon.  It is an amazing feeling.  Our little girl is approximately 3 1/2 months old and is elegible to have her case in court after March 15th.  This means that we could travel as soon as the end of May.  From her on out she shall be known Peepers.  For those of you who have seen her picture can attest to the brightness and hugeness of her eyes.  We are very excited and cannot wait to be able to bring her home. 

I will keep you all posted. She is a little bitty thing at 1 month old she was only 20 inches and weighed in at a weight of 6.6 lbs.  that was of course a little over 2 months ago, so I am sure she is slightly bigger than that now. 

I will post a picture of her when I can–after her case clears court.  Just take my word for it that she is gorgeous.

  19. 20 inches and 6.6 lbs.? That’s not much smaller than my son. He was 6 lbs. 15 oz., 20 1/2 inches at birth. He’s now — well, he’s a teenager. ‘Nuff said.
