More infomation about Andrew

Today I got a email from the adoption agency with medical information that had not been translated when we visited the agency on friday.

This information was dated April 17,2009 he was about 6 months old.

He is completely healthy. Nothing on the report shows anything for concern.
He was found Oct 27, 2008 and entered a foster home on Oct 28, 2008.

at one month : he was small could cry loudly, and sucked on his fingers.

At two months: he would cry and kick if no one would play with him. Very active!!!
he would sit straight, raise his head 45 degress when facing
down,and listen to bell sounds. It also says that he is a very smart
little boy.
at three months:he could recognize voices and turn his head towards sources. played
with his clothes,giggle,he could stand for a minute with help, rows
over,
at four months: likes to go to social places with foster mom, likes to watch TV,
likes listening to music, understanding of the meaning NO, pushes his
body up, giggles loudly when he is excited, he can recognize his
foster mom,
at 5-6 months: He likes to play and plays outside, sits in a walker, plays with toys
with his fingers, likes to suck his fingers, he is not afraid of
strangers.

He gets up at 9am,and like to play with toys in the bath tub. He likes sweet things
but eats mostly rice cereal and some fruits. He drinks warm water. He has a very active personality sometimes quick tempered, he smiles a lot and loves to play with his toys. he is quick!!!, he loves the foster mom,

It sounds like he is being taken very good care of and that he is a very loving little boy. Quick tempered!!!! That's my boy!!!!

Andrews middle name

I have been racking my brain on what to have his middle name be. Here are some suggestions. His Chinese name? My dads middle name David? Or my grandfathers name Charles?

Hmmmmm

What do you think????


I think this question should go to a new pole.

We have a boy

We just got back from the adoption agency and Makayla is now Andrew. In our paperwork it asked for a girl. Our home study and paperwork from the INS says girl.Which our agency has to notify INS and ask if that is going to be a problem. However we got a wonderful healthy boy.

god must of wanted us to have a boy. So I am posting his pictures .

So many things to do and change. His clothes are all pink and purple dresses. His room is all pink and diva decor. His baby scrapbook is all pink and has Makayla all over it. This blog has Makayla and is written for a girl.

For all those from Rumor queen web site that are still waiting I am going to suggest when buying things wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This could happen to you. Laughing!!!!

Ok this is the info that I have on our son . There is lots more that needs to be converted to english still which we should get back on Tuesday.

His name is: Yi Yang Feng
He is from: Jianxi Province / Fencheng SWI China
He is: Healthy
He is : So cute. I fell in love with him the moment I saw his face.
( and yes I cried)
He was born: Oct 27th, 2008
He is : In foster care (which I was really hoping for)

He sleeps til 9 am ( works for me)
moderate to light sleeper
Loves music
very active
impatient sometimes
plays with toys
laughs aloud
has quick reaction time


Everytime I would buy something in the girls department, everyone would say what "If it is a boy" and he Is !!!!!!!!!!

here are the pictures that everyone has been waiting for

Our SON ANDREW SMETAK


so sometime this week I have to update the blog to Say ANDREW!!!!!!


I should of listened to the hubby about not buying till the referral . lol


Now we have to wait 6-8 weeks then we go over to China and get him..... It gives me a little time to box up his room and buy boy things.

we got the call

OK here is the information that I have available which is great news and to be quite funny no great news.

We got the call at 8:50a.m and the pictures have her in all pink but the english paperwork says its a boy. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Please check out pictures of her room!!!!!!!!!!! All pink and all dresses!!!!!!!!!!
If it is a boy then I guess the spending freeze is off .

Woooohoooo
we'll The baby was born Oct 27th, 2008 and that is all the info that I have at this time. We are going to leave here soon for the two hour drive. I will post asap when I find out the sex.

It's friday

It's friday. Today we should hear about our daughter. I will post asap when I do and pictures too.

Here it is 3am again and I have not interest in sleeping or eating. I know the agency is not calling this time of the night but I am sitting by the phone anyway. I checked to caller ID several times and nothing. My wish is that in 6 hours to get a call and head down to the agency to see our child's face for the first time. I know I will cry and sob when I do. This trip will be the longest two hours of my life.

We got a call

Our adoption agency called today and said to expect pictures and info on Friday. I can not type I am so excited.

referrals have been mailed

Referrals have been mailed out last night in China. China has updated there website to say that they have given out referrals through March 22, 2006. What does that mean? We have a package on its way.

I called our agency and here is the bad news. My social worker is on vacation. I love you Kari but why this week???????????? I would like to think that I have some pull around the agency but what I did get them to do is call her on vacation and to call me back ASAP, but I have not heard from her yet as of 10:04. The lady I talked to said that the packages take about 3-5 days to reach the US and then another day to get to them. They will notify us when they get the referral. My first thought was to call work and tell them I am taking a week of personal time and drive the two hours to the agency and camp out. however I can not find the tent!!!!!!!!! lol

So at work today and the rest of the week I will have my cell phone very close to me just in case the call comes in.

As soon as I get pictures I will post them on here.

I will post more in a minute my phone is ringing like crazy!!!!!!

Great news

The first rumor for this months referrals are in. They are matching families through march 22, 2006. Only two day!!!!!!!!! But that means we are in!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week we could she Makayla for the first time.

I am hoping the referrals are going to be mailed out on Monday and we should here something on Thursday or friday.
