Welcome to our online adoption journal. We will be using this to update our friends and family on our adoption.
We received the results today from the DNA testing and it's a match--99.99%!!!! Yippy, we are so happy. The test was complete in just 4 days. The sample arrived on 7/14, completed on 7/18 and results were in our mailbox on 7/22--that is a very fast turnaround. Let's hope the speed continues with the rest of the process. We want Bella home as soon as possible.
With the results, we received a photo of Bella with her birthmother. She has her birthmother's eyes. Her birthmother is beautiful and now I see why Bella is such a beautiful little girl. Her birthmother looks a little scared in the picture, but it's really hard to say what she was feeling at the time. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to see Bella. I pray for her birthmother on a regular basis and hope she understands that Bella will be well taken care of and loved so much.
