THE Call!!!

We got it!

Wait, maybe you didn't read the first sentence carefully ~ WE GOT IT!!!!!!!

Thank you, that was a much better response.

Aaack, we have to wait until tomorrow to have a picture, but here is what we know so far.

Her name is Lian Bao Zhen. She was born on March 10, 2006 and is currently living in the Lianjiang SWI (social welfare institute). Lianjiang is a city in the southern province of Guangdong. Maps and more to come soon, when we get off this "cloud 9."

Measurements that were taken on August 18 say that she was 17.2 lbs and 26.18 inches long. Umm, about those size 9 months clothes I've been buying...

(switch to Ian)

Wooohooo! We're parents!!! Where's the plane to China.... we're ready to GO!
So far we've called our parents and siblings, so this post is for those of you who are faithful blog watchers. Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email (or comment here). We're so excited!!!

(sentiments from both)

God is so GOOD ~ we can't wait to get to Bao Zhen, but we know He is watching over her until we get there....

Congrats Mommy & Daddy!! My heart just about jumped out of my chest. I'm sitting at work about to cry my eyes out. I'm so excited for you, I'm having trouble sitting still...as I'm sure you are having the same trouble. :-)
Love you all (all 3 of you).

That is sooooo great. Congrats on your referral (I just know you are not going to be able to sleep, watching that clock until tomorrow comes so you can see her sweet face).

Congratulations! You don't know me, I'm a reader of RQ, but just wanted to say I'm so happy for you! My best freind and her husband just got back yesterday from China w/their sweet baby girl! She was an RQ regular - "WaitingforAllie" was her screen name. We all live in Charlotte, also! Just wanted to say hi and congratulations!
