Watching Rachel Grow

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

Welcome to Rachel's Blog



Hi! I'm not really Rachel, I'm her stunt-double. The real Rachel is still living in China, and her Mommy and Daddy (Tim and Kim; isn't THAT cute!?) are still waiting to receive her referral photos. Until they arrive, you'll just have to gaze at me. Or, you can go visit my "Auntie" Val's page and look at Kyra, Harper and Taelor. That'll keep you busy until I arrive. :)

Love,

Not-the-real-Rachel

I bet Rachel will be cuter than the baby in the pic. I know that your wait has been long, but it will pay off soon and you will be so blessed. I love you both very much..your sissy, Tina

Tina,

I know how excited you and the family are to finally hold and dote on our very own Rachel. I'm very lucky to have such a great sister! I'm not really certain as of yet but I have my suspicion think that the GORGEOUS & Absolutely precious baby girl on the introduction page is one of Auntie Val's (who created the site for Tim and me)very own! You must ck out her link! And Val herself looks just like Martina McBride (has her background music in her link)to me.

Hugs,

Kimberly (big sis)

HA!! Martina!! OMG, no wonder I love you!! heheheh

Tina- the baby is a random kid. Rachel will indeed be cuter. (as are Harper and Taelor and Kyra.. go check em out!) but she's still a pretty cute little squirt!

Martina?!? hahaha... oh Lordy... wait til you see me in person.. I'm gonna be laughing all night.. but laughing in a good way! Thanks, Kimmy! You've made me smile!

hugs-
Aunti... I mean FGM!

Despite the pain and struggle of waiting so long for your precious one, it is no less miraculous to be so blessed. You will make wonderful parents to Rachel. I am so looking forward to seeing you all together as a family.
Love, light and blessings,
Venita

Hello Everyone,

As a lot of you already know - A dear friend who I've not even met in person has really helped guide me into the world of creating a blog spot for when our Rachel finally arrives. But, more importantly - for when we're in China with her. We will be posting commments and photos to keep you up to date as it actually happens. Isn't technology grand?!!! And Val has even offered if we should get there and find ourselves overwhelmed - to do the postings of photos and etc for us. She's been through this process many times and knows sooo much more than Tim and I. When I do play w/ this site and learn more - I'll be posting pics of the nursery and etc to also keep you up to date or caught up on what we've been through for over 24 months now. I see that Val has also even added the link to our agency - Heartsent Adoptions, Inc. I so want to encourage you to ck out there site and learn all you can. It is a very trying journey and true lesson in surrender and faith - but so very worth it and we are so blessed everyday along this journey.

Kim & Tim,

It has been a long wait, but we are certain that little Rachel will make every minute worth while.
If she is half as precious as you and your little sister are to us, you and Tim will be truly blessed. We look forward to hearing more about your journey to China and getting more information about Rachel.
We love you very much.
Talk to you soon.

Mom & Dad
