Isn't She Lovely??





I've been waiting to post until I officially signed the Acceptance letter today for Nan Qi Guo. I've been holding my breath all week, waiting to receive her file hoping all was well. She just turned 10 months old and is the Maonan SWI in Maoming City, Guangdong Province. She's 7 months in these photos and weighed 18.7 lbs. Her name means South Pray Fruit....huh??? All I can say, is that she's prayed for any and all food products and I'm glad to see that she likes chicken. I think she's just perfect.

She is a very sweet little girl and I hope you will be happy together. It is always a miracle when a family is formed through adoption. Congratulations to you both!!!

Sharon,

I'm so happy for you. She so reminds me of my taylor...the same eyebrows, big eyes, and alert look, especially in the photo where she's laying down. Oh man, Strap on your seatbelt, girl, you're in for a bumpy (due to mischief), happy, love-filled ride!

Love from Miami from Carol and MaryAlice's MaoNan sister Taylor!

Congratulations! My daughter, Sara and I were in Carol and Taylor's travel group. Sara is another of Mary Alice's Maonan sisters. I hope you have the opportunity to see the orphanage. If you haven't already joined, there is a Maonan group on Yahoo groups. Here is the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MaoNanSWI/?yguid=325295545
Your daughter is a beauty - I just want to squeeze her! Congrats and get that little beauty home!
Best wishes,
Laura
