Introducing.....

Today we received a wonderful call.  Today we learned that Ch*na has officially approved us to bring our son home!!!  We still have a long road ahead....but this is a huge step!  He is the reason we are starting this entire adoption process again.  And now, we can really start.  I feel as if several weeks ago we decided to jump on board the adoption roller coaster.  We climbed aboard, and strapped on our seat belts....then we had to sit in the starting gate....just waiting for the bell.  Just waiting...and wanting to get moving.  Well today we got the bell, and enthusiastically, joyfully, and (a little fearfully) we have taken off.  Ahead of us we see a huge incline.... one filled with home study visits, paperwork, certifications, paperwork, training, and did I mention...paperwork !  But, boy are we ready!!!!  Hang on sweet boy....Mommy and Daddy are finally on our way to come get you!!

Introducing our son "Mushu" Gautreaux......

Now don't worry, that is NOT his real name.  For his safety we will not be sharing his Chinese name.  We are still prayerfully discerning his American name.  Of course we are open to suggestions!!  Until we decide on a name, we will refer to him as Mushu, our little dragon.
