What an AMAZING GOD we have! I REALLY didn’t think we’d get a girl this time. My prayers were answered!!! I KNEW I had a daughter in Korea and I was SO sad when our other referral fell through. My heart was broken for the daughter I wouldn’t have. I have prayed every day for the child we were meant to have. I am so happy to announce that MinYeong will join our family. We found out about her on Friday and it was the LONGEST weekend of my life!! We sent her information in to an IAP (International Adoption Pediatrician) and they finally answered on Tuesday. What a relief to have confirmed what we already knew in our hearts. This girl is OURS! ;P
She is just beautiful! She was born March 20, 2008. She is already rolling over and saying Omma. When we signed the paperwork today, Ryan showed off her picture and yelled “That’s my sister!”
Now for the hard part, naming her. We had decided way before our first referral that our daughter’s name would be Evangeline (Evie). However, I just don’t know if I feel right about calling this child the same name. We’ve decided to look at other names tonight and see if we can come up with another name that we like as well. Here is a list we are working on :
Tatum
Eryn
Caroline
Piper
Dragon
Pots and Pans
(these last 2 are Ryan’s choices)
What do you think?
WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Boy am I glad I decided to check on you tonight!!! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! What wonderful, amazing news!!!
Ok..names..I love Caroline. That’s my vote if you don’t go with Evie.
Hugs to you girl!!!!

So happy for you, Mike and Ryan!! She is adorable and I hope she’s home in time to celebrate Christmas with her forever family! Still disappointed we didn’t travel together, but your daughter just wasn’t quite ready!
My vote is for Caroline. Enjoy your referral glow!
I can’t believe you posted after I went to bed because I waited ALLLLLLLLL Day long for you to post–lol!!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name PIPER–it reminds me of a spunky, hip, fun loving girl!! But tell Ryan “Dragon” is my second favorite one–lol!!
Any name you pick will be wonderful!
Super-big congratulations to your entire family! She is beautiful – we hope she comes home in record time!
Oh, and I really like the name Caroline – so classic and chic!
Cheers,

I have been checking daily, waiting! Praise the Lord! I’m so happy for you, she is beautiful. I like Evie but understand if you don’t want to go with it. Tatum is my brother’s dogs name so that doesn’t do it for me. HA Choose the name your heart flutters when you hear.
Love ya,
Ang

Hooray! We like pots and pans! Uncle Adrian says he’s going to call her pots and pans no matter what. I want to name the baby! To tell the truth, I had a heart attack when I saw Dragon.:) Love you guys. K and A
I’m so happy for you guys! I really like Eryn and Caroline.
