So, what do our parents think?

Once Wayne and I made the final decision that there was no turning back, we knew the next step was to tell our parents.  After all, they were expecting a grand baby from China!

We had a plan on how to tell them if we ever got pregnant again, but this was a little different.  Our planned picture didn't quite fit for adoption.  So, Wayne told me to make a slide show.  I wish to goodness I could share it with you, but when I tried to upload it to Facebook, it took it down immediately because I have copyrighted images in it.  (OOPS!)  It was made of several images of orphanages in China and statistics.  At the end this question came across the screen:

Does anybody care?

Then we explained that we did, and our family of four would become five in the pursuit of a little Chinese girl.  There has been lots of tears, and more support than I could have imagined.  Both sides of our family are constantly thinking of fundraisers and names for our baby girl.  As of right now, Papa Don is really shooting for us to name her "Donelle" ....... I don't think so.  :-)

It has been a very emotional month with lots of ups and downs already.  We are currently waiting to hear from China on something that will effect the rest of this journey.  As I know more, I will go into detail, but we could really use your prayers right now.
