It was 4 years ago today that we got "The Call" for Mackenzie. "The Call", in the world of adoption, is how you learn about your referral or in other words, you find out who your new baby is. Four years ago today, we first saw her sweet baby face. We were actually at a Disney hotel, Pop Century, for Labor Day weekend. My parents along with my brother and sister-n-law were there as well. We were sure to bring a computer with us as we anticipated hearing from our agency, CCAI, or Chinese Children Adoption International. They are fabulous by the way. In any case, we learned who she was, Mei Fu Kang, meaning wealth and fortune, and that she was from the same province as Madalyn, Hubei. We had requested this and were so grateful the Chinese govt chose to honor our request. She is from the city of Huangmei which is about 5 hours away from Madalyn's city. Our hope is that they will go back together someday to learn more about their country and being from the same province will be helpful. We could not have been more in love. Isn't she just beautiful? She looked a bit like a butterball and we couldn't wait to get our hands on her. It would another 6 weeks before we could leave to go get her. More on this next month in celebration of her Gotcha Day. Till then, I know I'm biased but really......can she be any cuter???
