Baby Kayla...Now we know who you are

I'm thrilled to announce we have been matched to a healthy little 8 month old baby girl named MeiQiao in GuangXia (southern China) at the Changwu SWI (not sure I caught the right spelling on that). As of July, she weighed 16 lbs. and is 26.7 inches long. Our agency rep described her picture as "spiky hair and chubby cheeks". We'll get the picture and paperwork tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for all your well wishes and support during our never-ending-wait. Let the fun begin!!!!

Wow! How exciting for you and how wonderful for her--the two of you will be the best thing that ever happens to this little girl. I can't imagine a child being more blessed than to have the two of you as parents.....
Bobby..that is TWO parents not Shannon with TWO CHILDREN...yeah, right...and by the way, remember with Kera and Conni "Here ya go, she needs a diaper change"? Well, guess what Dad...no handing this one off..I just can't wait to see all of you together! Love to all, Janet, Jack & Lydia
