IT'S A GIRL!!!


We feel blessed and proud to announce the referral of our daughter:
Given Name: Yang Fu Ji
American Name: To be decided
Birthdate: November 15, 2005 (Karen's birthday!)-- 7 months old
Location: ChengXiang Social Welfare Institute in Yunyang County, in Chongqing Province

Her last medical appointment was in April, and she weighed in at 14.3 pounds, and she measured 24.02 inches.

Her favorite activity is to play outside, and her favorite toy is any toy you give her to play with. She is a deep sleeper, and she sucks her fingers when she sleeps.

She can hold her head up when she is on her stomach, and she rolls from front to back and from back to front. She reaches for toys, laughs out loud, and recognizes the difference between strangers and acquaintances. She knows her name, too.

The SWI (Social Welfare Institute/orphanage) described her as both quiet and active, said she likes music, has a ready smile, and can be obstinate.

We'll get two more photos tomorrow, and we'll travel in August!

Congratulations. She is beautiful. Our Olivia is from Chongqing - from different CWI, though. You will be told that they are "spicy" girls and it's true :)

We are waiting for travel approval to get Yang Fu Guang from the same orphanage! We hope to get him by September. I would love to hear from you and I admit it is an unterior motive thinking you might actually see my son while you are there. Your daughter is just beatiful and it is exciting to think she may have been laying next to my son! Please write me at twoinblue@aol.com - Julie
