No More Waiting

I am back home after spending all of October in Georgia. My son and daughter-in-law went to Taiwan to bring baby Ellie home from the orphanage. I took care of their two dogs and cat while they were away. Ellie just turned 9 months old a few days ago. She is such a sweet good natured baby and very laid back and easy going. We all adore her and look forward to a joyful holiday season with the newest member of the family.

New Photos

These new photos of Ellie arrived last night. What a little bundle of joy!!! Now we wait some more. Lessons in patience I guess.

Waiting for Ellie

Each day seems longer then the one before as I wait for the call. What call? The one from my son and daughter in law telling me they received word from Taiwan to travel to the orphanage where baby Ellie is. She has lived there since she was born in early February. The actual adoption process started in April when they got the referral. We are all hoping the call will come any day now. Why is it that time passes so slowly when you want something so much? So much that your heart feels like it is ready to burst. So much love to give, so much laughter to share, so many hugs... I dream of the day when I can hold my Grandbaby, Ellie. For now I hold her in my thoughts, prayers, and dreams. Each month the orphanage sends a few photos so I posted one from May, June, and July. August photos have not arrived yet. Hopefully they will arrive this week.

Ellie...my adorable grandbaby

Ellie was born on February 5, 2009 in Taiwan. We hope that she will be at home, in Atlanta, with her new family later this summer. Her new parents have been on a roller coaster ride for the past few years. There was a failed adoption from another country. It failed because the agency owner left town with the cash and prepaid fees from several couples. It was heartbreaking and costly. The agency they are involved with now is doing a fabulous job. Their dream of being a family is finally being realized. What a wonderful blessing!
