Ta Da! We Have A Name!

In the midst of the frustrations of waiting on the USCIS office, we have FINALLY decided on a name.

It has not been an easy task. There have been many discussions (arguments, if you will) about our baby's name. Pat and I have finally agreed.

Aliza Kate ________________ Hood
(African Name)

Aliza - Hebrew for joy
Kate - purity

Pat says that he is going to call her Ali - which is fine with me. That was my grandmother's name. We are so relieved to have finally decided and now we call her by name, instead of "the next baby" or "our African baby" or something like that. Now, you can pray for her by name along with us.
