Refs, Tests, and Texts

We have received our reference letters from friends! Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. It's a special blessing to us to experience the unusual opportunity to have close friends write down why they think you are so great.

We had our physical exams last week. We are both relatively healthy. Now we have to wait on the blood work and for both doctors to have their reports notarized at the clinic. It seems like it will be a small miracle if that actually happens without any trouble.

Finally, we have been raiding the library for books on adoption. Bob has already read three books and typed up his notes...over achiever. Kelsey has been looking through the baby name books. It's sort of weird, our daughter will have been given a Chinese name. Then, we will arbitrarily change it to a Western name. It starts to get into the thoughts around what it means to adopt a child from another culture. This is what many of the books discuss at length. For a really cool baby name web site check out: Name Voyager. Type in a name and it will chart its popularity over the last 100 years!
