We have a daughter

Today I made another call to our UK goverment office to be told they had just recieved our referal. We have a daugher born June 5th 2007 so 12 months old from Guangxi Southern China.

We are still in shock and dont know any more details apart from her Chinese name Jong Fu Le, but baby Wong will be called Isabella ( Ella) Insert Chinese generation name given by my FIL, part orphanage name Wong.

We havent seen a picture and hope to get all the details soon.

I still cant believe we have a child and we are parents. Baby Wong sorry Isabella we cant wait to meet you and bring you home.

Thanks guys you will make me cry again! We are still in shock and I cant wait to see her picture and finally travel to meet her. Its a scary thought!

She will be called 'Ella' for short as this is easier for Chinese people to say! Honestly!!

I just hope she is as beautiful and loving as Grace and I will be a happy mother!

Hey maybe we'll be in Guangzhou at the same time. William, Grace and Isabella can meet. I loved the comment you made about Will's ears. I noticed his ears in the first pictures we received of him. ;)

I randomly clicked on your site via the RQ Babies note. Your daughter was born on my birthday which I thought was lovely. I saw where you live in the U.K. which is where I grew up (London). Anyway, we are LID 7-17-07, www.JourneytoLily.com
Wishing you great happiness,
Michelle
