Happy Birthday An qi and Many More! We really wish we could all be together to celebrate your step into your teen years, but hopefully soon we will all meet. Waiting has been pretty hard, especially since all that stands between us and travel is a small slip of paper from China that says "Travel Approval" you may now come to complete your adoption! We have been fortunate to receive an update in May on An qi and was even able to see a video with her in it. We were able to see her with her foster mom (who seems wonderful) and her younger foster brother (evident they are close). An qi will eventually have an "American" name, but we are waiting until we meet her and we will all chose a name together. An qi chose to be adopted, how many young girls would take on all these unknowns for a chance at a family. She is such a brave, strong, smart girl and we feel so fortunate to have her as part of our family. We have also learned that she loves basketball, running and ping pong. Matt (her younger brother) has been brushing up on his moves so he is ready to play ball when she comes home.
Hi and Congratulations! We love to "meet" new people in our area that home school and have older adopted children.
