Congratulations! She is adorable! I have a very beautiful grandaughter from China also. Her name is Mia and your mom has emailed my daughter (Mia's mom) and followed my grandaughters first year "home". So I know how your mother is feeling right now and it is wonderful! Us grandmas have to stick together. You can see my little Mia here:

Blessings to you and your new daughter!

What a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations! Your wonderful journey is finally beginning. It is simply the best. I have emailed back and forth with your mom a few times (she bought the red thread bracelets from me) and I am so excited for you. I wish you all the best.
Take care,
Stacey (Mia's Mom)
P.S. I see that my mom has already emailed you too! We will be following along on your China trip.

Look at those eyes! She is beautiful! Congratulations

Shana said...

Oh, she is precious! So beautiful- congratulations!!! Are you in love or what? I can't wait to see the other photos! That's great that she is in foster care? Which province is she from? From her features, she looks like she may be from Sophie's province-

SO excited for you!
xoxo, Shana :)

Jennifer and Mike said...

Oh I love reading all of your comments this is just so wonderful.

I love you all.
Jenn

Jennifer and Mike said...

Shana,
Yes I am sooooo in love this is just the best experience ever. They said she was in ChongQing City which is not in a province?
I told My Husband I thought she had some features like Sophie's as well.

Thank you so much
Jenn
