Wait For Mira Lin

This blog was created to help keep me sane while I await the adoption of my daughter, Mira Lin. I also hope family and friends will come check the progress of our family!

Leaving for Kunming

We are leaving this morning forKunming, where the orphanage is located. I am so excited!! We are going to be a few minutes from our daughter in a few hours. How awesome is that? We will be meeting our facilitator, Xiulan, who will tell us what to do and when to do it from here on out. This is completely fine with me because I know I will be a lunatic by tomorrow and won't know what my own name is without help. I can't wait to unpack her things and get everything set up and ready to go. I have to pick out her GOTCHA outfit for tomorrow. I will try to post pictures as soon as we get back to the hotel but I don't even know if I will have Internet access. James said it was like we were finally in labor and I guess he is right in a way. But don't they give you really cool drugs when you are in labor? I think I need some of those!!!! Natalie, Kayla, and Adam - we love you very much and miss you like crazy! Kayla, you are finally going to get your baby Mira Lin! We will see you soon. I already see you in my dreams....

    Yes the drugs can be very helpful during labor. I'd share if I had some. I am so excited for you. I'm sure Mira Lin will fall in love at first sight and well we know how much you already love her. She is so lucky and just think....very soon you will be with her. I'm thinking of you often. Congratulations Mom and Dad...It's YOUR girl!

    Love, Erin

    Leslie & James,
    I am so glad to see you made it. All this time waiting...and it has finally come! You may not have drugs for the labor process, but at least you didn't miss out on the nausea!!! I can't wait to see pictures of your precious little one! Congrats a million times over. We are all thinking about you and Mira :o)

    Love,
    Chrissy

    Hey you guys!
    Where are the pics!
    I agree with Matt--the tension is building over here
    We want to see our new niece!
    Hope you guys are enjoying yourself as you get to know your sweet little gift from God!
    Adam and I have had a good time! He wanted me to spend the weekend with him also. I had Kayla and Austin last night. They play so good together! (just like Eric and Josh used to do!) The teachers at
    Primrose asked about you all also.
    Hurry up and come home!
    Love you guys,
    Your sister Debbie

    Just thought I'd let anybody that might read the comments know that James called me Saturday night. He said they were having trouble posting to the blog so he e-mailed some pics and asked me to pass them on. I sent some this morning to all of my family whose addresses I know. If anyone else would like them sent to them, e-mail me at mlmecimore@yahoo.com and I'll send them to you also.
