The Best Christmas Present EVER!!

My sister, Claire, and her husband, Bobby, have been waiting 3 years to adopt a baby girl from China. On Christmas Eve she said we have a present that Mom and Dad need to open before we eat lunch. We were all sitting around not thinking much about it until I saw my Mom pull a card out of a box that said in big letter, "Your Newest Grandchild". Inside the card was a picture of this precious child that will soon be part of our family. They got their referral on Tuesday (a complete surprise) and kept it a secret until Christmas Eve. This is such a blessing after the long wait. Please begin praying now for their trip to China to get her. They will be travelling either the end of March or first of April. She is in a foster home and is very attached to her foster Mother. Please pray that she will attach quickly to my sister and brother-in-law. Her name will be Nini Olivia Shoemaker!!
