Confessions of a Stalker

Our adoption has turned me into a stalker. I stalk my inbox. I stalk my mailbox. I stalk the Holt Bulletin Boards. I stalk other adoptive parents' blogs. My name is Jenny and I am a stalker...

I admit I can get pretty obsessive, especially when it comes to my email. I find myself constantly checking throughout the day hoping for any news or updates on our paperwork, our progress and especially any news on Bethany. Most of the time my stalking reaps no benefits. But those handful of times when I do receive an email are what keep me coming back for more and more and more.... 

And guess what? Today just happened to be one of those days. After being out for most of the morning and afternoon, I returned home to find an email from Holt. It was titled "New Photos" and my heart started racing. Austin and I looked at the pictures together and my heart melted at the sight of my little girl. My emotions got the best of me and I started crying - crying because I was so happy to have new pictures and crying because I wanted her home so badly. Ok, I think I might start crying again so I'll just hurry up and share the photos. Enjoy!

Bethany at 9 months (most likely taken on January 2nd)
Thank you God for watching over our little one while we are so far apart.

Jenny, I love your blog. We are just finishing our updated home study and waiting to have it sent to Korea. Were you able to choose the gender of your children through Holt?
