Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. Proverbs 25:25
It is with unsurpassable joy we announce the refferal of our daughter
Xu Xiao Fen
DOB: 3/19/2006
She is currently at the Xuwen Comprehensive Welfare Institute (or orphanage) in Guangdong Province.
We can't wait to see and share her pictures tomorrow!
Info on Xuwen (the city where Autumn is right now)
Xuwen is at the extreme southern end of China--as far south as you can go on the mainland. See the little finger of a penninsula right above Hainan Island? We also found the native language there is not Mandarin, but Cantonese. We understand that almost everyone will also speak Mandarin because that is the official language. This could complicate the plan to have her learn her native language! We may have to settle for Mandarin since places to learn Cantonese are not so prevalent!

Congratulations on your referral. I found your site on the RumorQueen board. We are very excited for you, and look forward to seeing her photo tomorrow. She shares the same birthday with our little girl, Liliana. We brought her home in November. Good luck, we will be checking back tomorrow.
