We’ve been a long journey to adopt a girl from Kazakhstan (a year & 5 months waiting). We’ve had a series of delays and now we’re told that we’re going to adopt a boy. It’s been an emotional process switching gears and *going with the flow* of international adoption! We’re supposedly days away from flying to Kazakhstan and all my girl announcements and thank you cards have to be set aside (yep I cried – I’ll post the girl cards too). This is the prototype of the boy version I created yesterday. I plan on making another boy version as well. I know I’ll love whoever we start to bond with. It’s just tough right now because the news is so fresh.

your card is wonderful and I am sorry for the loss of the little girl. I had a friend who had a lot of problems like this too. Eventually it will work out and you will have a beautiful baby. Congratulations!

Oh, Eileen, my prayers are with you and your husband. Whomever you get will be such a lucky and beloved child. (I do love this card. That bunny works so well for either a boy or girl card.)
