Well we signed the papers last night and accepted the referral. Now we wait for the whole travel group to accept and also for China to give us permission to travel. We hope to know in early May what our travel date will be.
We are so excited and Jazzy is over the moon about travelling to China and about becoming a Big Sister!
We have finalized Lilianna's name and her Chinese name is Jian which means "Strong", "Healthy" and "Well Being" along with a word used for one of the important weapons in China, the double edged sword. Jian is also girl's name in Arabic that means "Life or Soul".
We sent her a care package yesterday that included a blanket, a soft teddy and a photo book of our family. The package also included candies for the older children at the institute and the caretakers. We hope to recieve updated photos of her soon too.

She is adorable, and I'm sure she will be an added blessing to your family.

Oh your daughter is gorgeous! I love her name and have to say it is very similar to our daughters name. Her name is Lillian Jian Rae. I hope you have your daughter in your arms very soon.
