Here she is!




This is our beautiful Autumn, who we've waited so long for and so often wondered what she looked like. Now we know and we can't wait to have her in our arms.
We don't yet have the translation of the Chinese documents but we know this much. She was born March 19 last year and was found March 20th. That makes the birthdate pretty accurate. We also know she isn't a tiny thing. Birthweight was 3.3 Kilograms or 7 lbs. 4 oz. her photos appear to have some meat on them as well. We'll post full vitals (as of 6 months of age) when we get the translation.
We also know they say she is happy with a ready smile and laugh, restless but also a deep sleeper (thank you Jesus).

Congrats on your new baby girl! She is beautiful. Thanks also for visiting our blog (journeytobabyz.blogspot.com). Looks like we're with different agencies, but maybe we'll be there at the same time!

What a beautiful baby. It looks as if she already has her arms reaching out to you. Congratulations. Hope the time flies until you can fill those arms. Love The Kings

Congratulations! She is beautiful! We happened upon your blog looking for information on the Xuwen orphanage because we are also just got a bethany referral for a babe at the same place, so I'm assuming we will travel together! Our daughter's name is Yang Xu, soon to me Mia Lin Yang and she also has a March birthday (March 2). We look forward to meeting you. It has been a long long wait, hasn't it?
