shhhh I'm trying to keep a secret...

AHHHHH hardest freaking time keeping this secret.
It's almost as if cosmically everyone knows as they are asking me all the time about the referral and if we heard anything! I get a little private giggle.

My husbankd is the absolute WORST at keeping a secret it's funny to see him and watch him try to answer with concern and not with the big ole smile we are all used to seeing on Chris lol!

I am so excited for this new chapter. This little lady is adorable and looks a lot like SOphie.

Little crazy about what needs to happen to our bedroom since we were prepared for a boy and got the referral of a girl so we'll have to do some work on the room - - gladly :) looks like more sassy diva's for the rhine's

poor chris.

REFERRAL!!!

We got the call! We got the call!
October 3, 2011 we got the call !
A referral of a beautiful 4 month old little girl.
Her name: Chia-Hsin
Born July 5, 2011
Healthy beautiful little lady
We are over the moon with excitement

Now we await one last medical test and we can tell the family...the suspense will kill us I'm sure but we need to wait.
I cannot believe it's finally here!!!!!!!!!!

Our translated homestudy has made it TAIWAN

We found out Monday our translated homestudy made it to taiwan!!!
We are officially a known entity in Taiwan and hopefully it will be soon now that we get to see the picture of our newest addition and get more details, and begin planning.
Thank God the holiday's are here to keep me busy. I would be going nuts man how things are different the second time around since you have a little one to keep you busy - whew this whole 4 year old diva testing mommy business is crazy :) I can't wait to see how she does with the new baby and how many more questions she will be asking in the coming weeks - she doesn't miss a beat.....
Will it be a brother or a sister
my gut says girl referral before christmas but I think the reality will be boy referral after the holidays before the chinese new year in february....so we will see...only time will tell :)

For those keeping score of date - dossier sent to qui ji nov 17th translated version sent 12/1
