Headed to China!

We leave on October 30th and will arrive in Hong Kong on Halloween!!

We just got some new photos...can't wait to meet our daughter!

Still lots of paperwork...I have to hand it to the adoption agency...this is a real logistical feat...coordinating all these families and Chinese authorities, etc. And they had promised that they would try and get us traveling within four weeks and it will be four weeks to the day when we get on the plane.

Travel Approval

We got our travel approval last week, but still don't have a definitive date of departure for China...could be Thursday, October 30th or Thursday, November 6th..
I guess I am learning to be flexible!

Plenty to do in the meantime to get ready to go!!

Na Yue's American name

We've decided (officially) that our daughter will be called:

Isabelle Na Yue Montagne

The French, German, and Hebrew meaning of the name, "Isabelle" is "consecrated or devoted to God."

We think it suits her!

Fu Na Yue

Yesterday was quite an exciting one!
We finally got THE phone call from our adoption agency.
We have a daughter...beautiful precious Fu Na Yue. Her surname is Fu and Na=elegant or graceful and Yue= moon. She was born on June 22, 2007 (in the year of the Boar...like me!) and is 15 months old. She lives in an orphanage in Jianxi province, where she has been since she was 3 days old.

We should be traveling to bring her home in 4-6 weeks.

I'll be posting some photos soon too.
