Updates from Shenzhen

It's official.... our first post. I'll start with the latest and work backwards as time permits.

Through the wonders of the internet, we have had the incredible blessing of "meeting" a woman who volunteers at the Shenzhen SWI... AND who has met and played with our daughter, Qiao Qing! She has been kind enough to check on Qiao Qing for us, play with her, send us email updates AND even sing her "Happy Birthday" from mama and daddy! I don't think I took a breath the whole time I read her first email...

With each update, I receive the gift of getting to know Qiao Qing a little more -- like sneak peaks of the child that is ours. Our Shenzhen friend has told us that Qiao Qing is very soft-spoken, but knows what she likes and dislikes and is quite a petite little lady... her exact words were: "...sweet, petite, and adorable. "

Oh we can't wait to hold her ourselves!!!!
