It's a Girl !!!!!!!!!

It's official Friday July 29th at 2:00 o'clock Robin and me became parents again. They searched all of China to find the one little girl with a attitude so they could give her to us. They knew since we were such experienced parents we could handle anything. She is 17 months old born on Feb. 16, 2004. She is from the Xinjiang Province. Of course our agency has adopted over 9000 chinese children but only 7 from that orphanage. I knew we were in trouble when the lady from the agency couldn't even pronounce the orphanage. Xinjiang is in the upper end of China close to Russia. Oh well I didn't think this was going to be easy. Her name is Xin-Yue (sheen-youa) She weighed 20 lbs. in April. The poor little thing has had her head shaved and she doesn't look very happy about it. I guess I will be shopping for some cute little hats. We were told that she is in foster care and that is a good thing. We should be traveling in 5 to 7 weeks and I can't wait to get her and put a smile on her sad little face. So when you look at her picture think smile and pig-tails. Ha!
I will post our travel dates when we get them.
