Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

SAY HELLO TO OUR NEW DAUGHTER ASHA MIKAELA NYAH PARISIEN...

Yesterday, November 7, 2008 was truly the best day of our lives! Look at this perfect face! How can you not love her? The second we saw this little one, we knew that this was the baby that God had chosen for us. We had thought the wait for the call to tell us we had a baby waiting would be anywhere from one to three years - we never thought we'd get the call with a referral only 2 months and 17 days later. We are truly blessed!

We have given her the name of Asha Mikaela Nyah. Asha is African and means 'life', Mikaela is Hebrew which means 'who is like God' and Nyah is African and means 'purpose'. We can't wait for all of you to meet her!

The next step in our journey is to wait for all of the legal court procedures to be completed and processed which they hope to have done in January 2009. After this time, we will be notified that we can finally come and pick up our daughter. We are hoping and praying to be able to go pick her up in St. Vincent as early as February. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!

Scott, Desiree and Asha Parisien
