They are DTT!

Wait a minute, "Who are what?" you say?

The WHO is my sister and her husband (the beloved Aunt CiCi and Unca Ad-ham ~ pictured here with their first baby, a Giant Schnauzer named Chaucer)This picture was taken back in February, but it is one of my favorites of two of my favorite people (and dogs).


The WHAT is that they are D(ossier) T(o) T(aiwan)! I still don't know a whole lot about how the process works from here, but I do know that their dossier left AFTER they got their power of attorney status. And that means that I am finally free to share a picture of the two cutest kids on that island! Meet my niece and nephew, Maylin and Pierson!
For that matter, very possibly two of the cutest kids on this planet! I love them so already!

Oh my heavens, aren't they cute? I love them to pieces already and can't wait to welcome them to this crazy conglomeration of people we call family. And hug them and kiss them and offer them chocolate just before bed...

No, still not sure exactly when they will be coming home, but it looks like the January/February time frame. Oh how I wish we didn't have a trip to Asia coming up so close after that, cause man would I love to go along on this trip!

And speaking of trip, anyone in this boat of adoption knows that there is cost involved. Adam and Traci have a website almost ready to go to help offset their expenses where you can get some of these...

This is the journal that Traci made me to take to China for when we met Caleb. We carried it on Gotcha Day and the day we met his foster mother and so both the SWI director and his foster mother wrote him a note and it served as a place for me to record private thoughts that I didn't want to post online.

one of these...
Simply stated, this is THE MOST comfortable t-shirt I've ever owned. The hemmed neckline and sleeve edge make it just a step above regular ts, I get compliments EVERY time I wear it, which is FREQUENTLY! AND a long sleeved line is going to be available soon!

and who can't use one of these?
This is the perfect size tote bag. I'm currently using it as my purse/emergency one diaper to carry bag.

There are some other wonderful adoption related items too, trust me, you'll want to check it out!

Details on the website when it is up and ready for orders. Yeah, I'm lucky and got to shop early ~ family connections are everything!

What a sweet aunt you are Kristi to be loving on these kids so much before you even get your auntie hugs on them.
I think it's wonderful that you and your sis can have this adoption/mommy thing going on together.
Our families are trying to understand, but really they just don't get why we are doing this when we have three bio kids.

That is great news! For some reason i thought you were going with them- was that prior to Darcy? Anyway, following both trips will be on my list of things to look forward to next year, that's for sure! And I LOVE to shop when it supports adoption, so please let us know as soon as the "shop" is open! :)

Donna said...

Can't wait for the arrival of ALL THREE of our new family members. Love Traci's website - have already sent in an order for one of the beautiful jade bracelets (your mom wore her's all the time she was here and I loved it.)

Melissa said...

What exciting news for your sister and husband. As you know, there's a special place in my heart for her work, so PLEASE post her blog when the shopping can
begin! You are so right, you will have the most adorable family around once Darcy and those 2 precious kids come home!!!
