We Got a Match!

On Friday July 26 at night around 8:00 pm, Bobby got a phone call from Holt.  Since we are on the waiting list, we get immediate butterflies whenever we see that Holt is calling because it could be something.  Well, our case worker Marissa started explaining that they were getting ready to have a little girl released to them that they thought would be a perfect match for us!  Her name is Wu Lidi and she was born Sept 18, 2011 so in a little over a month, she will turn two.  Just as she was telling Bobby this wonderful news, Larkin walked into the room from a shower and Bobby mouther to her, "WE HAVE A MATCH!"  She was immediately at attention.  Once Bobby switched to speaker phone, Marissa went on to explain to us all the details they had on her...she was abandoned at 1 in a park, they gave her the last name "Wu" after Wuhan City where they found her, her first name "Li" they gave to all the children who were found that month, and "Di" which in Chinese means earth or park because they found her in a park, she is currently living with a foster family.  Needless to say, we are THRILLED!  She said that emails would soon follow with the written details, what we needed to do if we decided to accept the match, and PICTURES!!!  

Here is an excerpt from the first email:

   "Dear Bobby and Larkin
