Our adoption coordinator, Melissa, confirmed today that the lady holding Maddie in the photo below is her foster mother. It is highly unusual for Chinese orphanages to provide photos of foster parents. What a special blessing to be able to have that bit of Maddie's history to pass along to her as she grows up! The look of pride on foster mom's face tells me that she loves our little girl and I am at peace knowing that she is being so well cared for.
The closer we get to the end of this phase of our journey, the more difficult the wait becomes. Doug and I both agree that the four years wait was tough. However, now that we know her sweet face, it adds a whole new degree of difficulty.
Still no word on travel arrangements. After tomorrow, the CCAA shuts down for over a week to celebrate Chinese New Year (a.k.a. Spring Festival). So, if we don't hear by tomorrow, we will have to wait another week before any chance of knowing more about travel dates.
Thank you all for your good wishes, prayers, and comments here and on FaceBook. Maddie - you are already so loved and we just cannot wait to bring you home!

What wonderful photos to have! I hope you are able to travel soon, and safely.
Thanks for stopping by to "visit" Annabelle. We can't wait to bring her home!
