Baby Maeve is with her mama!

My friend Laura met her baby yesterday in China! Check out Maeve here. We met at and introductory meeting with Great Wall China Adoptions. We had both driven a long way just to find out more about the agency because they wouldn't accept applications until the next fall for their coveted singles spots (300 women wrote essays and about 100 were choosen). We both stayed after to speak to the singles director and found that 2 ladies who were selected the previous fall had lost their spots and that if we both faxed in our paperwork immediately we could be considered. We stayed after for hours speaking with her....and here we are now 2 years later, with our babies!! I am so happy for Mama Laura and Baby Maeve!
