We got our referral! We have been matched with a beautiful little girl named Bai Xiao Chen. (I'm still working on the translation of the Chen part, but Bai is 100 and Xiao is small.) She is 8 months old and is a peanut. About 2 months ago, she was 24.8 inches tall and 13.75 lbs - about the size of Chloe at birth! We are all in love and can't believe we have finally "met" her! The girls are excited and nervous at the same time. She is living in an orphanage in Dianbai in Guangdong Province, about 4 hours west of Guangzhou for those familiar with Chinese geography. We are going down to Boston tomorrow morning to get more information and start the next volume of paperwork so we can travel to get her. The usual time to travel is 6 to 8 weeks. Since Chinese New Year is staring in a couple of weeks and most of China is on vacation during the 2 week holiday, we will likely be closer to the 8 week mark. We will let you all know any other exciting news as things progress. For now, we are celebrating!
