We are so excited to announce that we received a referral for a baby girl from Colombia on August 4, 2010.On that auspicious Wednesday morning (8/4), Julien was at work and Sabeth and Esteban were getting a haircut for E. Julien got a phone call at work with great news! A referral for us! Within minutes the photos were being emailed and Julien called Sabeth--who was driving and had to pull over--to tell the news. Esteban was very confused about why mommy was crying.
Isabella was born on March 15, 2010, in Bogota, Colombia. She has brown hair and grey eyes. She weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 19 inches at birth. At 3.5 months, she weighed 13 lbs. We think the referral pictures were taken at the 3.5 month check-up.
Isabella's birth mother named her Isabella. We love this name and are keeping it - and it means Elisabeth (also Sabeth's name). We had several long conversations about her middle name and finally decided on Grace because she reminds us of the grace we experience through being parents.
The meaning of the name Isabella/Elisabeth is "God's Promise." :) Congratulations!
