IT'S A GIRL!!!!!



After much waiting we have found our little EmmaLi!!!! Aka:Tong Qiu Mao
Her name means: Tong is after the Orphanage she lives in and Qiu is for Autumn (birthday in September) and Mao means small (she was a preemie)
She was only 1lb 5oz. when she was found and they didn't think she would live but, has progressed even though she is still small. She is 2 years old and cannot walk or talk much but, we hope when we work with her that things will improve. We are so excited and have much work to do to bring her home. Our case worker gave us an estimated time of bringing her home in 6-7 months. Not what we were thinking but, we are just so thrilled to finally have a face to go with our name!!!!! Thanks so much for all your support and love through this extremely long wait! Please keep us in your prayers that our paper work can be processed quickly so we can bring her home!!! And please keep EmmaLi in your prayers that she will be well looked after while she is apart from her family.
