The Post!!!

Finally I get to post "The Post" that Ives waited to do for years. We were places with our sweet baby girl today. Camryn Lee was born June 3, 2011. I'll update more aboutthe last month of our lives later, but it was an exciting time. We are so thankful that God answered our prayers and the many prayers of our friends and family. She is perfect. Now...I'm off to buy some hairbows :)

The Journey to our Daughter said...: Oh, Chrystal that is wonderful! I am so happy for you all. I have some hair bows that are too tight and some clothes that I would be glad to pass along to you for your precious little girl. Some of them were bought or gifts after we met Josie for the first time. She had on a 3-6 months sleeper that was pretty big for her. Well she obviously took a growth spurt between visits so she out grew them before she could ever wear them. Send me your address at cpinson2@cox.net if you could use some 3-6 and 6-9 month winter stuff. I'm anxious to hear the story but for now enjoy your snuggle time.; June 14, 2011 at 12:21 PM

We were a family of three who was in the infertility/adoption cycle for almost 6 years. During that time we experienced 5 failed treatement cycles, 2 failed adoption placements and the loss of 6 adopted embryos. After officially waiting with our agency for 3 years, 8 months and 1 day we were blessed with the birth and adoption of our daughter Camryn Lee. Our adoption was a long journey, but looking back I know there is nothing I would change. God really worked on me during those years and I'm grateful for that. Every time I look at Cade and Camryn I know that God's timing was absolutely perfect!
