Meeting of the Minds

Hello Everyone,

We had great news Friday. As I stood at a counter at the gift shop buying a beautiful dragonfly pendant at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, our agency called to tell us the Embassy and Phu Tho had met this week and agreed to process our I-600. I am finding it hard not to hold my breath as I write this....knowing it could be hours, days, or let's go with hours/days until we have an approval and we can finally bring our sweet baby girl home. Brooke turns 1 on the 4th of July. How wonderful it would be to have the approval and be on our way to her as she is turning 1. Jon and I played with Brooke's name driving home and came up with Brooke Thi Ann Derheimer to include her given name. Jon has already said he will call her T as Thi is pronounced T in Vt, or a pet name of Tadpole (T.A.D.). Not sure I'm too fond of my daughter being called tadpole, but then again I did get used to him calling me Bug.

We will wait on pins and needles for a positive e-mail from Hanoi, I will keep you posted as we get news.

Keep Smiling,

Ann
