That's her!

Mini-Parks
Currently at Maoming City Social Welfare Institute (Mao Gang district)
Guangdong Province, China
When we saw her photo this morning (about 2 hours after the phone call), our first reaction was "That's her!" After 4.5 years of talking about her, it was an epiphany. Obviously, she is our daughter!
We have never seen a referral picture in this desk-like chair before. Doesn't it look like she's been doing calculus? Well, we won't pressure her into that too quickly.

We submitted this photo of Ralph with our April 2006 dossier.
I see a resemblance!
Tentative travel to China: mid-April or early May (avoiding Guangzhou trade show in late April.)

  13. Congratulations! She is so cute. I have never seen a referral picture like that either. She is on a potty chair. :-) I have heard that they try to potty train them very young and always wondered how they did this. Congrats again!
