Adoption News

Sorry I confused some of you with the adoption time table at the top of the page. The ticker is actually counting up from when our official wait time began. Our paperwork was sent off to Ethiopia on January 18th and that is when we were officially added to the waiting list. It is a great milestone and I thought it would be fun to see it count up and know every day that we are closer to our baby girl. Also....I think this would be a good time to share the name that we have picked out for our daughter. Unless we totally fall in love with her Ethiopian name, we have chosen the name.....drum roll please.........
Ruby Katheryn
Ruby is a name that we both fell in love with and Katheryn was Robb's grandma's middle name . So there you have it......what do ya think?

It will be interesting to see if she stays a Kathryn or falls into the Katie or Kate nicknames. Either way it's a pretty name.

Yes, it is Ruby Katheryn and we hope to be matched with an infant about 3 months old and hope to have her by 6 months old.
We should have a referral by summer and travel by the end of fall....but it is all a guessing game, unfortunately.

I love Ruby...Trish Bearden has a Ruby and I think it is so classic. And I think a child's name is part of the family heritage, so it's great you are using Kathryn....Why not Arlys?......tee hee...we have Booker ALF.....

Apparently you love your child more than we do....

No we love little Booker Alf and it fits him...He's owning it!

Ruby Katheryn is a beautiful name! That is really exciting news...I can't wait to "meet" her!

That is so cool that you will likely bring her home when she is around six months. I have a six month old at home right now and it is just such a great age-they are so aware of everything-seems like a perfect time for her to meet her forever family!

I somehow messed up my blog so if you click on my name this is the right one.
