Denise and Troy with Annalee!

Hello family and friends of Denise, Troy, and Dylan! 

I have wonderful news from Denise - they got Annalee yesterday!  As soon as they pulled up to the office, they saw a group of women getting out of a van with a tiny baby. Troy and Denise said, "oh, look at that sweet little baby" having no idea it was their Annalee!   They handed Annalee to her and said "Congratulations"!  Of course, Troy and Denise cried and held her for the longest time before they moved from that very spot. She's very tiny, she's wearing 3-6 month old clothes!  She was in a bit of shock for the first 24 hours but is doing a lot better today. She's finally eating and not as scared. She's definitely a Daddy's girl , she cries if Troy leaves the room for a second. She's babbling, crawling, and already trying to walk. They stayed up all night just watching her sleep. 


They can't wait to get home and unite with Dylan.  They are scheduled to visit the orphanage tomorrow and fly to Guanzhou on Friday. 












































On behalf of Denise and Troy, thank you for all of the sweet messages and prayers.  Blessings, Cathy

Honestly, words cannot express how happy I am for you, Troy, and Annalee. These pictures are so wonderful. I can see the love that you already have for her. It is so amazing and truly warms my heart. You have waited so long with the upmost faith, trust, and patience in Him. The Lord is so Good. Annalee is beautiful and perfect. I am continuing to pray for you guys. Also, I am looking forward to seeing your complete family photo when you are united with Dylan back home in Helena!! I cannot wait to hear all the stories, and to meet Annalee. Congratulations!!

She is absolutely gorgeous!! I love all the cute dresses and bows! It is so fun to watch you experience this journey to your daughter. I remember all the emotions as if it was yesterday. We, too, got very sick for several days each. Not too fun when you are tying to bond with your daughter. Would love to meet you one day and introduce our daughters to each other. Enjoy the rest of your trip. I will pray for you on the long plane ride home. So thankful that you now have this precious one that you waited and prayed so long to get. Thank you God for another China baby who now has forever loving parents. This always makes me smile! Teresa Ward, Jennifer's sis in law, in Texas
