Four Feet More

For some time, I've been following the adoption journey of Kate, a blogger friend who has been waiting an extraordinarily long time to bring her d2b (daughter-to-be) home. She's often compared her adoption process to the gestation period of an elephant (which is 2 years), however, her "paper pregnancy" has gone on for much longer. Finally an end is in sight, and Kate is getting close to bringing d2b home.

Since Kate lives in Russia and doesn't have any family near by, a couple of blogger friends threw her an online shower this morning. We were supposed to all post a picture of us eating cake to celebrate the shower, but unfortunately, I was down with a wicked dizzy spell, and I'm afraid my nausea would have made the after-effects of eating cake extremely unpleasant.

So, in honor of Kate and her d2b, here is the slice of cake I would have liked to have eaten: Boston Cream Pie.
Doesn't it look scrumptious?

Kate has taken her blog offline in order to protect the privacy of her adoption hearings. However, once the adoption is final and "d2b" is simply her daughter, I will let you know so that you may follow Kate's journey as a new mother to a precious little girl!

In the meantime I would like Kate to know that all of us here at Four Feet More are sending warm thoughts her way and crossing fingers, toes and eyes in the hopes that her court date comes soon! Best of luck!
