AT LAST...WE HAVE A DAUGHTER!!

On April 6, 2007--Good Friday--we finally received our referral call after an 18 month wait! It was indeed a "good" day and our precious Maeve was definitely worth the wait! So, it is with indescribable excitement and joy that we introduce our daughter and baby sister:



MAEVE MARIE FUYOU O'KEEFFE

Chinese Name: Xiu Fu You
Date of Birth: August 10, 2006
Xiushan Social Welfare Institute
Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan Province










There is something to be said for the "Red Thread" Chinese proverb that says a red thread connects those who are destined to be together. We know this is the case with our precious Maeve. Not only could we feel it in our hearts the minute we laid our eyes upon her, but we also realized that she was born on what would have been Cathy's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. God is good!

We can't wait to follow your journey to Maeve and to meet her in person. These last days must feel like forever...I know they did to me. We will pray for you all each day until you return home. Can't wait to see pictures of you all being united. What a wonderful moment to look forward to.

Many blessings,
