And she has a name....


So we just filled out the paperwork to officially name our newest addition. She will be named Vanessa Ruth Willock. If you put the meanings of the words together it actually means "Beautiful Butterfly". We will be filing our I800 paperwork either today or tomorrow (as soon as I get it approved from our agency) and then we wait again for more paperwork from the US government. I have found that adopting is an act of patience. There is a lot of hurry up and wait. We were sent some photos of our girl this week. Here she is in therapy playing with the OT equipment. From all the reports we've read she is being well cared for and she getting the therapy she needs. We've been told she is a girly girl who loves the colors purple and pink and loves having her hair done. Elizabeth will love having her here.

A Visit to our girl

We just got word that our social worker in little "V's" country has an appointment to meet her Monday morning. We are very excited to be able to get more information about her, both personally and medically. We are also hoping that we will get more pictures and maybe even a video. This is really the first time in this whole process that we've been able to ask questions and hopefully get answers about her before we go meet her in person to bring her home. Please pray for us during this process. We also have a few applications in for some grant money to help offset the enormous cost of all of this, please continue to pray for God's provision for us. And as always if you'd like to give please visit this website or if you just want to see her cute little face. http://reecesrainbow.org/?s=willock
