P. R. China!!
All updates have come in in the NORMAL range and she has no teeth yet!
Developmental Notes state:
She enjoys music

impatient :-)
close to her caretaker
a deep sleeper :-)))
laughs out loud
knows name
responds to facial expressions
and will attend to both visual and auditory stimuli
Aliya and I are thrilled and so relieved to be into the next faze of this journey. Travel plans will be known within the next 5 to 8 weeks. We can't wait.
Thank you to everyone who "stayed the course" with us! Our day has FINALLY arrived. Your prayers, good wishes and happy thoughts have been much appreciated along the way.
Congratulations on your Jiangxi referral. When you are ready to get her newspaper finding ad (with a photo months younger than her referral photo!) come visit us. We also have a DVD of her orphanage, as well as foster family information, etc.
