Introduction

Hi all,

This is our new blog to introduce you to our new baby, Katerine. Unfortunately she is not yet living with us, she is still in her home country in Central America (which borders Mexico, Belize, San Salvadore and Honduras).

We will be visiting her in late February and will finally get to meet her. I will post plenty of pictures, don't worry.

She was born this past August (at 5lbs, 7oz, 18.35"- pretty much the norm for her home country) and has been with a foster mother while the legalities are settled.

We are hopeful that we can bring her home in May or June, but have no real idea. I'm sure it's at least three months from now, we don't know if it will be more. Her/our case is just beginning in the court system (and one of the first grandfathered under new laws), so.... we just don't know.

We are very excited about this new chapter in our lives and have no real idea what to expect. But she's new to this stuff too, so she probably doesn't have high expectations. That's good.

We're hopeful that she'll be here by June, so one of us can enjoy the summer off on family leave while getting to know Kat.

That is the scoop from here. I will keep you posted and post lots of pictures.

I'm not trying to be evasive in this post, but I'm pretty sure that we're not supposed to be posting her info all over online until she comes home, but how else are you going to meet her?
