Olivia White!
Yes, that's right! We have a new addition to the family as of today! Incredible isn't it?! We didn't even know about her yesterday afternoon and today we are proud adoptive parents. All I can say is that it is a miracle! We can't express in words the love and gratitude that we feel for her wonderful birthparents who we had the honor of meeting. We were also incredibly touched by Olivia's birthgrandparents. Today was more amazing than I can describe. We feel so blessed, but at the same time we want Olivia's parents to know that we are in awe of their amazing courage and you are in our prayers. Adoption is a miracle!
Okay, so you probably want some stats... Olivia was born on January 11th at 11pm, and she weighed 5lbs. 15oz. and was 18 1/2 inches. She is a petite little girl, so she fits in our family since I'm petite as well! We are overjoyed!
Well, it's late and I have a long night ahead, so I will post the rest tommorrow!

CONGRATULATIONS! I can't believe it. That's so exciting. I don't even know what to say. I'm so happy for you. You guys are such great parents(and family). I know Olivia will love it. She's beautiful! I can't wait to meet her. I have to go email Alen right now!
Congratulations! We are so excited for you guys - she is an angel.
What a darling little peanut! Thanks for posting the picture, Sharon--can't wait to see more!
It was neat to talk to you, Sharon. Sorry I was a little out of it. :) I am so excited for all of you. Congratulations!
Awwww!!!
Thanks for the quick post.
We are so happy for you.
beautiful! sorry I haven't touched base with you yet - I've had a full day of class and my phone conveniently died. But you'll hear from proud Auntie Kaci and Tio Tom soon... :D
Congratulations! I can't wait to meet her. She is so beautiful! I wish I could hold her right now. We're so excited for you!
Oh, wow!! I thought you might be announcing a potential adoption but I wasn't expecting a baby!! She's gorgeous!!! I'm so happy for you guys. Congratulations!
Wow!!! Yes, it IS a miracle! What an amazing thing! I am so thrilled for you!! She's SUCH a White, in my opinion and you so deserve this. Now, will you remove the "hoping for an adoption miracle" footnote for say, six months? If you don't you may soon find yourself with twins, ha! (BTW, I am considering a pregnancy like that next time. Not much time for nesting, though). No jokes aside, I am so ecstatic for you. Please update soon with many details!!
Sharon!! I am so happy for you guys! That is the most excited news I have heard all day! She is so beautiful! What a sweet little miracle! Talk to you soon!
Sharon, this ROCKS!!! I AM SOOOOOO estatic for you BOTH!!! I just can't believe it, BUT I CAN!!! You guys deserve this more than anyone I know! She is a DOLL!!!! CONGRATS!! I am chilling with goosebumps!!!!!!
