Happy Referral Day Anniversary Kenzie

Two years ago today, August 2, 2007, at 1:55 p.m., we recieved a call from Great Wall China Adoption that our referral had arrived. Our paperwork had been sent to China October 28, 2005 after 10 months of getting it all together. So, we waited about 21 months before finally being matched with a child. We were so excited to hear that it was an 8 month old girl; we could not wait to see her pictures which they emailed about 1.5 hours later. We drove to Austin the next day to pick up all of the paperwork because we just could not wait for it to be delivered by mail. Below are the first glimpses we had of Kenzie and a picture of the kids (and Alana) outside the adoption agency.
