Referral!!!!!!!!!!!


We are over the moon and thrilled to announce the referral of our beautiful daughter Grace.
We have waited over 15 months for this day and we are still in shock that it is finally here. We received the call at 10:45am.
Name: Lian(last name based off orphange name) Bao(treasure-middle name) Qin(musical instrument-first name)
We will call her Grace; we haven't decided yet what part of her Chinese name we will keep as her middle name.
Location: Lianjiang Welfare Institue in Guangdong Province
Born: April 3, 2006-9 months old today!!
At 7 months she was 15.8 lbs, 27 inches and had no teeth.
I have posted the only picture we have right now. We will receive more tomorrow. So check back then.

Congratulations from another Lianjiang family! We got "the call" for Kylie on November 30th, but I just had to check RQ and admire all the new babies today! Our Kylie also has Bao in her name, we decided to keep it so she'd know she was our treasure! Hope your TA comes quickly!

Another CHI family- I recognized the referral page! How I can't wait to see that again, (we're LID 10-9) Seeing yours was fantastic.
The name Bao Qin is a great name- they often say to babies "bao bei bao bei" an endearing term you coo to babies.
Congrats
