Oh, it's all surreal to process after thinking and dreaming about the moment! OK, I was walking in my backdoor, arms loaded with groceries, when my cell phone went off in my purse. I precariously answered it leaning over the clothes dryer (only spot I've found to give a couple seconds of reception!). It was our case worker from our adoption agency! Of course I called her right back on our regular phone line and she gave me all the details. After seriously expecting a BOY, it was quite a shocker that a little girl needed us the most! Our case worker was amazed too. She said, "I don't know where all these girls are coming from! We keep telling people to expect boys, but we're getting so many girls!"
Well, she emailed Tim and I 3 pages of birth and medical information. We reviewed everything, prayed, asked for counsel, and were filled with so much peace and excitement! Tim asked our girls if a little sister was OK instead of the little brother they had been thinking about.... the vote was unanimous! When we got to see her photos, we were all smitten! WOW! We think she's just adorable!
Introducing our new daughter, Ha Mee. Born June 11, 2007 in South Korea!
The earliest photo we have of Ha Mee.

Ha Mee with her foster mother, Mrs. Lee.One of the coolest things.... Ha Mee's referral call came December 5, my Daddy's birthday! He loved to give gifts to others on his own birthday. This year we got the best gift of all, Ha Mee.
Of course we can't wait to get her home. In my next post I'll tell you how all that happens and what you can do to PRAY her through!
Thanks for sharing in our excitement!
