Ruth, Brian and Boyz,
What a beautiful little girl. She has no idea how God's blessed her already in this life to have been placed with such an amazing family. I pray that her transition (and yours) will go very smoothly and she'll feel like one of the "gang" from day 1. Blessings to a wonderful, deserving family. Lots of Love, Susan, Mike and Elisabeth
She is lovely!!! Congratulations! Our 'little' girl is born on 24 september 2003 and is also from Chongqing City. Not the same orphanage, but still.....
Enjoy!
Warm regards,
Debby vd Dool, the Netherlands.
Congratulations Ruth!!! K1 sent me a note that your refferal came...she is just beautiful!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful "spice girl". My daughter adopted her daughter in January from the same orphanage. Her name was Xiu Hua Yi. All the babies in our group were names Xiu Hua and then their middle name. When I saw the red sweater I knew she was in the same orphanage as my granddaughter. The babies from there are all beautiful. You will be so in love with her!
Congratulations. She is truly beautiful.
Congratulations! She is so precious!
What a beautiful little girl! She is positively adorable! Congratulations and God-speed on your journey!
