Sorry for the long delay in our whereabouts.  We had our appointment at the NAC (national adoption center) on Thursday.  We  were offered files of little girls with various physical disabilities.   We were eventually shown a file of a little girl who was very healthy and smart and 19 months old.  We chose to go see her.  We traveled last nite for almost twelve hours by train.  This morning they brought into the Directors office a walking, bright blue eyed, blonde haired little girl, whose only special need is that she needs cleft palatte repair.  We were told all about her and she is right on target in height/weight and very smart and very shy.  All very very good signs.  We took her to the Oral Surgeons who have decided to do the first step next week of her surgery.  We will finish upon return home.  We cannot believe how pretty she is and how healthy except for the cleft repair.  Oh and she is potty trained too! 

We do not know how long until court.  We also do not have her name decided on as of yet.  We do know she will be in the hospital for one week following her surgery.

We will have more time tomorrow to post more right now we are very tired and hungry.

Please send us emails and let us know what is going on.  We also apologize if we cannot email everyone back directly, but we do appreciate all of the support.

:Love to all
Leanna, Larry and our daughter
