WOW!! I just got this email and I had to wake up my kids to tell them that Ellie has arrived! They can't believe it and neither can I. I'm so excited for you two. Take lots and lots and lots of pictures and just keep sending them. Especially pics of you holding her in your arms. Congrats and God bless you! Love your sister, Sheri

I saw your link on the RQ site and just had to check it out. Your Ellie is just beautiful! I know you are over the moon! We came home with our Ellie last Feb. when she was 10 months old. If you need any travel advice I would be more than happy to share.

What a beautiful little girl! Saw your link on RQ, but we're in AZ too. Have you gone to any of the FCC meetings? There are some great couples there and it is fun to see all the families. Love to see you there.

We travel in just 2 days to get our Annika. See her at www.chinablessing.wordpress.com

Is your baby from HUINING in Gansu? Someone told me about seeing your referral and we have a daughter from Huining. Her name was Guo Ting Ting but since the SWI name is Huining (town name also), I wonder if they are changing the name of the babies to HUI. If she's from Huining, there are just a few babies from that orphanage. We were the first international adoption in February 2004.

Ellie has the "Huining Hat" on in the photos so I expect she's one of the precious Huining babies!

Congratulations!

She is adorable!!

Our little girl was 7 months at referral as well earlier this year. At first it was a shock to us (hehe we asked for a 12-14 month old)! But when we saw the referral picture, that shock quickly went away and we busied ourselves getting ready for gotcha day.

I can't wait to see you receive your TA and head to China!

Once again, congratulations!
