Make Room For Mei Mei: ...and now the rest of the story...
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-now-rest-of-story.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. And now the rest of the story. In my post on January 4th. I shared the story of the call that ended our Taiwan adoption journey. Today, I'm going to finish the story. So in memory of legendary radio host Paul Harvey, "and now the rest of the (too long for radio) story.". I've had many painful, "why this, ". Moments in my life but I really think this one took the prize for being the most hurtful and devastating. 1 Yeah, right. 2 How's that going to happen? I really don't think I'...

Make Room For Mei Mei: October 2011
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Consulate Appointment is Done! For dinner we went out with a family from Georgia who came to pick up two kids from two separate provinces. They have seven kids total and now 5 from China. They seem to be beyond building their family and are all about rescuing orphans that have a bleak future. Very inspiring to see faith in action. Lindy - we hope you enjoy your field trip to the farm this week and can't wait to hear all about it. Millie attracting the photography students).

Make Room For Mei Mei: November 2009
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. I had a "yikes" moment a couple of days ago. Well, let's be honest, it was really more of a freak out moment. I saw a Facebook status update from a mommy who just returned from Taiwan last week with her sweet little daughter, Emily. It said something about jet lag and an almost seven month old, don't really go that well together. Then it clicked- an almost seven month old is a six month old! If she is that young, looks like this momma bear will be doing some SHOPPING. A Journey...

Make Room For Mei Mei: January 2010
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Disillusioned, down, discouraged, disappointed, devastated but not deserted. The title of this post is how I feel regarding this journey. I'm not sure many people read this blog but I want to capture some of my thoughts on virtual paper for the future. As I write this, I really don't know what to write. As I pray, I really don't know what to pray. I guess our prayer is really the same that we one day (sooner than later) will have a beautiful, healthy baby girl to add to...Many ...

Make Room For Mei Mei: February 2010
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. The sweetness of trying to find the "perfect" name. Since we've been waiting for mei mei for well over two years, one might think we'd be completely ready. We're not. One of the exciting things about having a new addition is coming up with a name. Is that the perfect name? Here is what she's come up with lately:. 1 Lulu (this has been the one she's said from the start). 5 Candycorn-November 25, 2009. 6 Chippewa-November 25, 2009. 7 Sprinkles-November 26, 2009. And So We Wait.

Make Room For Mei Mei: September 2011
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Your gift to us. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Prior to leaving to bring home Hope. This past summer, my super cool friend, Elissa. Sent out a prayer itinerary to her family and friends. I thought it was a fantastic idea, so I decided to snag her idea and come up with one of our own. Imitation is a great form of flattery, right? More items crossed off my list in the next day.

Make Room For Mei Mei: Sweet sisters
http://makeroomformeimei.blogspot.com/2011/11/sweet-sisters.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. I've had a lot of people ask how things are going with the sisters. I've been wanting to do this post for a while but I wasn't sure whose blog to put it on (Millie's, Lindy's, or the family blog). Just another reason I need to merge the three. It is on the list of things to do. Things are going EXCEPTIONALLY. Well with the Osborn sisters. Lest you think it is all roses, there are moments of impatience, copying, tattling, being territorial, and other typical things. However,...
