Like I said before, this path we're on is paved with exclamation marks!! It's official - we have been matched with our new daughter - her initials are C.S.Q. She will be 5 years old when we go get her - she's adorable!
Our dossier is in China now, along with our little girl's information, and sometime in the next 2 - 4 months, China will notify our agency of their agreement!
We know a lot about her already - she loves to sing and DANCE, has a ready smile and is considered "outgoing". She had a few medical issues at birth that have already been repaired, thanks to a generous child welfare program in China!
She's living in an orphanage in Jilin province (borders on North Korea!!), and that's where we'll be going to get her after a few days in Beijing.
Still so much to do! Looking into recommended vaccinations, packing lists, touring opportunities, language classes, journaling, reading lots of books about geography, history, culture and so on and so on!
We are planning to post a picture of our little sweetie on Facebook, but have to be very careful of her privacy and that of the orphanage and the overall process.
We still refer to her as Mei Mei, which means "Little Sister", and we've learned to pronounce her real name, but it's a difficult name to pronounce, let alone spell! Again, for the sake of privacy, we're not posting her real name.
Thanks for being with us on this amazing journey - for praying and hoping.
