Journey with Julia

Meeting our Mei-mei



























This post has been a very long time in coming, for just about a year now we have been working and waiting to bring this little one home. Our trip to CT was all about her. We finally got to meet her in person, this Devyn, that we had oh so few pictures of and not nearly enough information. We finally feel confident in saying that yes it will only be a matter of time before they bring her home to us. Our visit went oh so well, we found her full of personality, as stubborn as her big sister, and ready and willing to come with us every day that we went to get her. We had been told she didn't like men, but she went right to Daddy first. He's always had that special gift. :)

Julia was at once very protective and at the same jealous of Devyn. I think we were able to balance out the jealous part pretty well. By the middle of the week she was more concerned about where Devyn was, and who she was with. Overall I think she handled this new step in our lives fairly well. She didn't like that we had to leave Devyn behind (but then neither did we)but seemed okay when we told her that we had to come home and get her room ready for her. She's very excited about helping to decorate another room.

I know this is probably not nearly enough information but more will be coming over the coming months. At this point we have to wait to hear from FL on what our requirements are going to be, as far as CT is concerned we just need the house certified they are considering us except for that. But sadly this could still take another 4-6 months. Please pray that it doesn't, we have all, and Devyn mostly, waited long enough. For now we would just like to introduce you to Devyn Mei.
