OMG she is so cute!!! I am so happy for you! I have been reading your blog for a while now and I am just giddy with excitement for you and your husband!! I am going to be anxious to see about your trip to get that cutie! The hair is adorable! Oh I know your going to love being a mom! Blessings to you and all of your families because I know it has been a grueling wait for everyone. Now let the TA’s come quickly so you can have her in your arms.
CONGRATULATIONS! Your daughter is just beautiful!! I am so happy for you two. I’ve been checking everyone’s blog who posted their link on RQ and saw yours. It brings back memories of the first time I saw my daughter. It’s amazing, you think that once you have your child home that you will no longer check RQ but you will, especially when you know referrals are coming.
Congratualtions again:)
One huge congratulations… can’t wait to see more pictures etc of her… oh that cute nose…
Congratulations guys!! She’s beautiful and I love her name! We’re sending our best to you all!
Congratulations! Look at that hair! She is beautiful! I have been following your blog for quite some time and am so very excited that you have finally received your referral.

cadence said AWWWWW as she saw your daughter’s picture come up … your daughter!!!! Can you stand it!!!????
She’s SO PRECIOUS!!!! I’m so excited!!! She has TONS OF HAIR!!!!
Ok, am I the only one thinking how totally appropriate it is for Fire Girl’s daughter to have baby Heat Miser hair?!? And I can say that since YBaby had HM hair for awhile, too.
She is beautiful. Congratulations, Mom and Dad!
She is adorable!!!! You have got to love that hair! Congratulations on this very very special day!!!!
Blessings,

Oh my! She is a doll! I never did get to guess a name on the previous post (the joys of working!) But, I was thinking of Kate when I saw it earlier. At least it was close! She is beautiful!
She is adorable! Lisa hadn’t had the chance to let me that you had posted her picture yet. So when your site came up, I just about had a heart attack
Just as Catherine is God’s blessing in your lives, I know you guys will be a blessing in hers. Love ya, Ken F
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! She is such a little cutie pie!!!
I am so happy for you – she is adorable. So much beautiful hair just waiting for a bow!
Congratulations. It has been a long time coming and I know you are both overjoyed to finally see her face.

Congratulations! She is adorable.
Congratulations!!! I am SO happy for you!!! Your daughter is beautiful. I’ve read many of your posts on RQ, and you seem like wonderful people that are going to be AWESOME parents!!! WOOHOOOO!!!
OMG! Catherine is absolutely beautiful! There is nothing like referral day and seeing your baby for the first time. Congratulations to the new baba and mama!
Gail
WENDY CONGRATS!!!!!! It’s been a long road and you guys will make a great family!
She is adorable! She has hair! I know the first thing you will do when you meet her is run your fingers through that hair of hers! Since it will likely be springtime when you go get her, hopefully the orphanage will not have given her a summer shave yet.
I just love her eyes, so bright and filled with curiosity.
I love the name you chose for her also. Catherine is a classically beautiful name that will carry her well through life.
When CCAA tucks photos into the referrals, I wonder if they have any idea how many people will see those pictures, and how intently the new parents will stare at them trying to decipher their new child’s personality from a single expression.
I was off by one month on her birthday (I guessed April 5, but it’s May 5 — a Cinco de Mayo baby! Bring on the guacamole and celebrate!)
Happy Referral day!
Ok..I hope you have a lot of hair bows!! I was wrong on every guess but God was so right with all of it. So happy for you!!
John & Wendy – CONGRATULATIONS!!!
HOW EXCITING! Best wishes on becoming “mom & dad”!
I am SOOOO excited for you! It’s been a long road … soon you will be holding your dear little girl in your arms
Oh I am so happy to see this beautiful child..Congrats my bloggy friends!
Congratulations!! She’s such a little cutie! LOVE the hair! I knew your daughter was from Fengdu the minute I saw her Chinese name as we have a Fengdu beauty (Feng Fu Ying) adopted in May 2005. I’ll e-mail you the SWI Yahoo group address.
All our best to you … Debra, Paul & Ella

Congrats!!! She is beautiful!!!

She is adorable. My computer is slow tonight and the picture was slow to load, it loaded from top to bottom so the first thing I saw was all of that hair.
She is darling. Congrats

Congratulations to your beautiful daughter!! She looks like her parents. I heard that CCAA is doing their best in the matching room, but is truly amazing every time a child is matched and you can see the likeness. All my best!
