INTRODUCING . . .

Hui Cheng Mei
(pronounced Hway Chong May)

We couldn't be more excited to post the wonderful news of our daughter's referral. She was born on July 6, 2006 and is currently in the Guangdong Province (Southeastern China). Words cannot describe the emotion we feel after waiting so long to complete our family.

We have very little information at this time. We should receive our official packet in a few days with more information.

Thank you to those that have been praying for us. It has been a long road, but we are nearing the moment when we get to hold our daughter for the first time.

We're trying to finalize her American name but haven't decided for sure. More to follow . . .

Wow...She's so beautiful guys. Absolutely beautiful. Are you guys excited or what?!

I'd be willing to bet that she also has an unexplained inner excitement. I'll bet she some how knows deep down that her Mom and Dad are coming to her soon. She knows that soon she'll be going "home". Forever.

Keep us posted and God bless you both.

Congratulations! She is adorable! I found your blog on the Nov-Dec yahoo group. We also just received a referral and we're probably traveling together. So, I wanted to introduce ourselves. I added your blog to ours -- I'm trying to put together a list of families who will be traveling together. Please let me know if you want your blog removed. Congratulations on your referral! It's been a long wait. I look forward to meeting you and going on this amazing trip together! Rachel Baker (http://www.audreys-story.blogspot.com)
