Day: June 6, 2007

Nadia Li Yun is here! She was born on October 28, 2006 and is a tiny little peanut at 14 pounds. She is in the Suichuan Welfare Institute in the Jiangxi province which is north of Hong Kong and south of Beijing. We couldn’t be more excited and just adore her photos.

Here is the basic information we have been given. She is a moderate sleeper, holds her head up when she is on her belly, rolls over onto her belly unassisted. She can visually follow moving toys, she can locate the direction of a sound.

She laughs out loud, loves music, is active and can be obstinate when she wants her way. HA!!

We now move to applying for travel approval to China and should go to pick her up in 6 – 8 weeks. It’s all so exciting!!!!!

Our agency just sent an email saying that they are expecting a package and as SOON as the courier comes, she will email us with the contents. If it’s referrals, they will confirm all the information. Then while one person is calling the families, another person is scanning in the photos. You get your photos by email about an hour after you get the phone call.

The phone call usually gives you the following information : name, DOB, province the child is from. Then the email has it all again and the photos. The next day you can expect a Fed Ex package at your door with all the information in a hard copy, plus the medical records (which we immediately take to the pediatrician for review). Then you sign your docs and Fed Ex it back to the agency to get it all to China. Then the waiting begins again to see when you travel!!! Hee hee.

I actually slept peacefully and a full night – knowing today was most likely the day calmed me down.
