What I didn't know was the NEWS Allie and Nancy had to share with me...news that would change our lives FOREVER!!! I remember saying to Allie, "I hope you will be the last coordinator". That's when she spoke up and said, "I have some really exciting news...are you near your computer?" My heart fell to my feet as I said YES...WHY, WHAT...Do you have our baby???? I was already screaming before she could confirm. YES, SHE HAD HALLE-GRACE!!! Well, Hallegrace was in VN but she had our referral for HG! I couldn't believe my ears....and I could have never prepared my heart and eyes for the most beautiful sight!!!! I will never forget shaking as I hit the check mail button and opened the file with her photos! I thought I would just BUST WIDE OPEN! My heart went into some crazy fluttering freenzy....It was LOVE at first SIGHT!!!!!!!!!! I didn't believe in love at first sight until March 5, 2008. The love we felt for HG carried us through the months to come as we fought to bring our baby home! Jason told me along the way..."not bringing Halle-Grace home is NOT an option. We will fight for our daughter, we will bring her home". He was right...the fight to DC, all the emails, phone calls to elected officials, my HENS who I love dearly, family, friends and often strangers who heard about our journey.....all of you helped bring HG home! Thank you!!
Thank you God for the miracle of adoption, thank you for the miracle of Halle-Grace.

Nancy called us with THE NEWS. She was also genuinely kind to us when everyone else at the agency were being jerks. Even in the midst of the insanity we were going through, we were very, very sorry to hear she's left.
That is the sweetest picture of HG looking at her baby picture. Halle-Grace you are so precious and so loved by all of us. I have to have a copy of that picture. thank you so much for praying for Mamaw Parker. She is very special and she loves you so much. Keep up the prayers and tell Mommie to keep up the photo's. You are special just like Mamaw Parker. Love you.
Love the pics! I MUST have that outfit...where did you get it? Sooo cute!
