I knew you had a Yangxi baby as soon as I saw the red chair. I have a Yangxi baby too, well actually she is now 6 years old. I brought her home at 11 months. She was so well cared for and developmentally on target. I hope the same for your baby girl! Come join the Yangxi yahoo group and learn more about where your baby is waiting.

I've tried to post once so sorry if this is a duplicate. Congratulations!! I was going to say the exact same thing as Kolleen - I knew as soon as I saw the red chair she was a Yangxi girl! We also have a beautiful little girl from Yangxi! She is healthy and funny and delightful and full of spunk! I'm sooo happy for you! Email me if you want to chat - we've been home 6 months - or check out our blog - it details our travels, etc. Our little peanut was so frail when we first met her and now she is thriving and walking and laughing and talking! I'm soooo happy for you and Kaelie! Congrats!!! Our blog...http://tochinaforjia.blogspot.com/

Take care - enjoy the ride!

Thanks for listing me (as the Cut the Crap - Declutter) in your blogroll. Ironically, I've been thinking I need to declutter again so you've prompted me to start it back up. Thanks for the push!

What a beauty!! I jumped over from RQ - and noticed right away our daughters must be from the same orphanage - Yangxi?? Best wishes for the days ahead - Jody

travelmom and more said...

Congratulations on your YangXi girl. When I saw her photo I got chills, she looks so much like my daughter, who we adopted from YangXi in July 05. I had to go and get our referral photos and put them side by side. She is adorable and best of luck to you. YangXi is a good orphanage and they do very well with what they have. If you want to see referral photos of my daughter to see how much they look alike let me know and I will email them to you.

What a pretty baby! Congratulations on your referral! I can't imagine how hard your wait had to have been (I'm in Dusty's group)It seems like a lifetime ago that Jaiden came into our home. Soon it will seem that way to you too and the days you've waited will be a distant memory. I'm so happy for your family! Many Blessings! Have a safe trip!

Congratulations!!!!

And get ready.... you gotta watch out for these crazy Yang Xi girls!! Ours has been home for 3+ years and gets crazier every day!

Join the Yahoo Yang Xi group, and stock up on white washcloths- the SWI uses them as "loveys" and they really do comfort the kids (they're also easy to wash and replace!)

Kaelie is beautiful- so start packing because you'll be there before you know it!!!

Hi Karen,

Congratulations! She's adorable!
Your cousin Bonnie (who I work with) had sent your daughter's photo to me (because I adopted Madeline from China in 2006). The funny part is, I had already seen it as I still keep an eye on the china adoption world....talk about small world!
