On Friday, July 6th, at 3:43 p.m., we got "the Call" and found out that we have a daughter waiting for us in the Hubei province of China!! All we have until Tuesday are the basics: Her name is Meng Jie Yuan (soon to be known as Madison); she was born on 10/9/06; she is living with a foster family, not in an orphanage, which is sooo great!!
According to our agency, who only had limited info in English until Monday, when our packet - with photos - will be Fed Exed to us, she was measured and weighed on May 14, '07, and was 10kg (22 lbs!) and 72 cm (28 inches!). Wow! As soon as the photos come, I'll post them.
We should know in 4 weeks or so when we'll be traveling to get her. Yeah!!!

CONGRATS!
So happy for you! John & I visited China with Pastor AMark Wickstrom in April. Had a wonderful trip! Eight of us from St. Andrew's joined 24 others from Las Vegas and elsewhere.
Just finished reading Safely Home by Randy Alcorn. Novel about China. Have a coworker who adopted a little girl from China - very smart and darling!
Congratulations on your little sweetie! We are also from the Fox Valley (Combined Locks) and have a daughter from Shanxi Province who was adopted in March of 2005. We are also waiting (not so patiently) for our second daughter (LID April 2007...eek!). Anyhoo....enjoy the moment! You are at the beginning of one wild and wonderful ride! If you want to get together for a playgroup (or shopping!!), let me know!
Congrats again!
