She is beyond adorable, Cara! I've been checking your blog to see which RR baby you had committed to ever since I saw the post about Ella being adopted by the other family. I was hoping there was another little one out there waiting for you, and I'm just thrilled to see you're going to be a mom to this precious girl! Won't it be fun to have some PINK in the house after all the boy stuff?

When I read your post about Ella being adopted by the French couple, I felt so sad for you, but at the same time felt that was Gods plan. Husbands can amaze us, when they know how we feel! Having a child with Ds is really not difficult! Every family should know the joy of having a child with Ds, right??!!

You are very lucky you found out about Ella beforehand. It was devestating for us to be on a total emotional high, travel for 30 hours without sleep, then find out that WEEKS before our arrival Milana was deemed unadoptable yet we had no clue. At least you have time to prepare yourself for this sweet new child! It is such a loss to find out that you can't adopt a child you carried in your heart for months, and I hope you find peace. We still talk about our Milana all the time because she is still without a family, which breaks our hearts.<br /><br />Good luck with the process and the new committment! I am sure she will fit in wonderfully with your family!! I can't wait to know her name!! :)<br />xoxo, KariLuv4thePawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876722751522347305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417985506148781567.post-75958354071822228112011-02-20T13:16:34.837-05:002011-02-20T13:16:34.837-05:00Your little one is precious - what a doll-baby!

The grieving is a process necessary, but very hard.<br /><br />Through the next week, God sent us referrals for Sarah, and we know now that she is the daughter God had intended. It has been a long, rollercoaster ride. We've seen miracles, we've seen heartaches. But, God has been with us every step of the way. I am so excited for you and praying for your next steps. <br /><br />Congratulations, hang on...<br />P.S.

I just think that is so awesome that you have found your daughter. In God's eyes, it doesn't really matter if she is "perfect" in our standards or not, because in His, she is absolutely perfect. And best of all, perfect for your family. Your little girl is absolutely beautiful. And don't worry about all the negative comments. They will come around. :) The first two months of our adoption, we heard so many negative things, but the last 4 have been wonderful comments, everybody is so positive now, it's like they now see what we see. :)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079283785228132950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417985506148781567.post-64979986019265012802011-02-19T00:59:49.079-05:002011-02-19T00:59:49.079-05:00I wanted to tell you Congratulations!!

The whole time we were committed to Dasha, and waiting to be submitted, and then to get there, I kept thinking about what would happen if we got there and she was unavailable to us. Thank goodness she's now here, but I thought about it all the time. And we would have brought someone else home. But it's awesome when it feels right!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282587109702216257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417985506148781567.post-7424859599321062132011-02-19T00:23:56.258-05:002011-02-19T00:23:56.258-05:00Oh look how STINKIN' CUTE she is!!!
