Announcing . . .

Our Agency called this morning to say they had received our:

Letter of Acceptance from China to adopt . . . .
 With sheer joy and thankfulness . . . .

Introducing our daughter, Miah (Yuan Yun).  She is from the province of Gansu, China.  She is currently 19 months oldIn her referral paperwork, we actually received quite a bit of information on her monthly progress compared to Liliah.  We are hoping that she has had some kind of sponsorship which may mean more pictures and information on her little life.  They say she is an extrovert, active, restless, impatient sometimes, loves to cuddle, red colored items, plants, playing in the sunshine and watching TV! We have another August baby and Liliah is very excited to share this birthday month with her sister.Miah was born with congenital cleft lip and palette.  Her lip has been repaired (not shown in this picture) and we will have her palette repaired when she returns home. She has been living with a foster family since she was 2 months old.  We are so thrilled and can't wait to go get her.
