Nope, I don't have any experience with adoption. I just wanted to say congratulations Auntie Pam!

Congrats Aunt Ambie!!!!!!! You know, I had forgotten about this and I am so glad you updated us on the process that you are now an AUNT!!! 18 months old, those are fun times, they are old enough to keep you on your toes and can be so funny, but still still too young to talk back...LOL Have fun being an Aunt..:)

Congratulations!! I don't have much experience with adoption, but I remember how excited I was when I first became an aunt! What a cute picture of your niece - I love her little outfit! She looks so happy, and she's at such a fun age right now.

how exciting! my hubby's sister and brother in law adopted two little girls from China when they were quite small as well. now Lily is 9 and Jasmine is 6 and they are so much fun! i am sure you will enjoy her!

Lots of children in the family, but no adoptions. congratulations!

We haven't had any adoptions in our family. I know it takes a long time. Glad it went through. Lovely name they choice for her. She's a cutie, huh?

Hello Ambie! My congratulations! It is really nice knowing you are now the one. Well that is another chapter of your life.

congratulations om hhe extension of your family. i hope that you have many yearof enjoyment together. there is nothing like the bond of family no matter how it comes about,.

what a great news for sure and carolea amyra adoption is not a ordinary news and i am really happy for you since the name is also getting changed.i appreciate this efort.what is the next step for you now?

That is wonderful news! I hope you have a lot of wonderful times with your niece in the near future, hopefully you guys can spend lots and lots of time together! That is a great early Christmas present for you!

What a beautiful blessing, and at Christmas time, this gift of a child will be truly treasured making the season even more beautiful. Adoption is a beautiful life event for both the child and the parents adopting the child. My congratulations to the family

It is so heart warming to hear of a foster child being adopted. She is a lucky little girl to become part of such a loving family. I loved her photo, she is an irresistable child, so happy. You are all going to have the best Christmas this year. Congrats.

So nice of you very selfless , sharing and caring life. What a very admirable trait you got. It always comes to my mind asking why some people love to adopt dogs and why not human being ? Although dogs are also cute and needs love but i guess human being must be the top priority. By the way the baby got a very beautiful name. Take care and nurture well the baby like your real .

Oh this is so wonderful!!! My friend is part of a team who gives counselling to moms who consider abortion. Many times the mom's change their minds from abortion to adoption. It's so wonderful when they have a change of heart/mind! When their babies are born and the adoption papers etc still needs to be put into place (which can take a long time), my friend (we have about 10 kangaroo-moms)will be 'kangaroo-mom' until the baby is send to their new parents. We get used to the babies and love them so much... and we're happy when we find suitable parents, but parting with the babies are also so very sad. Enjoy 'aunthood'!!

Adoption is a long process. It took me years to get birth certs for my two adopted daughters. The problem was I didn't want them to know that they were adopted and having that word 'adopted' stamped behind their birth certs. The registration department here is not that efficient so I declared the two girls as my biological daughters out of wedlock. I thought this would ease the process of getting their papers but no I have to face the gruesome task of being interviewed by a court magistrate together with my witness. I did not know how I managed to convinced the learned man but he did approve and i finally got my daughters legal papers. My daughters are now 18 and 15 years old respectively. Congratulations to your sister and BIL and to you on being upgraded as an Auntie.

Congratulations! is wonderful to be an aunt for the first time. I remember when my sister had my nephew, it was very exciting for me. A beautiful baby always brings a great deal of happiness to a family. I'm sure that this baby will be spoil with lots of hugs and kisses.

How wonderful for your family!! She looks like she is a happy baby. Congratulations to your sister and BIL. I am sure today is one of the happiest days of their lives.

Ah she is a little darling and may God bless her in His own special way. I am sure that she will bring so much love to your family.

I can feel how much excited you really are and I am sure that when Amyra grows up, she will let you know how much she appreciated all of you for wanting her to be part of your lives.

Congratulations :-D And what a beautiful kid, I hope you all will make a great happy family!
