LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Kelly! Let me know if you need any info. about VCH. Two of our children see Dr. Kelly. He is AMAZING! And hard to get an appt. with--hopefully the IA Clinic can help you get in to see him sooner than later.
CONGRATS on making final preparations!!!
Yeah, we'll be seeing you there!!!!
Kendra I just realized that you all live here too! We just saw Dr Kelly today - really liked him and v easy to get an appointment to see him (we called early last week and had our pick of times today). Will be praying for you with all the things you have to do :)
Congratulations Kendra!!!! I've been following your journey on RQ! Trust me, the wait will go so incredibly fast! We started at 16 days and now we're at 2!! Have fun packing and nesting!!!!
Kendra,
Praise the Lord for your TA. I just realized that your sweet Charlotte and our little Mia are from the same Province. Gansu!!!!!!! I haven't met to many people adopting from this province. Our little Mia is waiting for us in the Qingyang Orphanage. They are Gansu Sisters. I want to send Charlotte a present, I am getting Mia one too. Could I have an address to send it to?????? So happy for you. Will pray for her heart to be ready for her Mama and Baba, and for you and for safe travels. My friends are having a shower for Mia this month. Hopefully it will help keep my mind off the wait for our RA, and I need to work on her room.
Hi Kendra,
Please email me as we are on the exact same time line.
