Wishes

We've uploaded a list of the wishes that we've received for our daughter as part of our bai jia bei, "Hundred Wishes Quilt."

Click here to read them.

UPDATE: I guess I should explain what a bai jia bei actually is. The term literally means "hundred family quilt." It is an old tradition in China that when a new baby comes into a family, the friends and family members all give a small scrap of fabric, along with a wish. The pieces of fabric are then sewn together into a quilt for the baby.

The wishes here come to our little girl from our family as well as other people throughout the world who are or have adopted children from China.

New Rumors
Well, now the rumors are that the November batch of referrals will not include any June DTC dates. So, it looks like we'll have to wait another month to learn about our new daughter . . .

Still Waiting

All the paperwork has gone to China. We are currently just waiting for our referral - then it will be 5-7 weeks before we travel.

The rumors are that the May and early June DTC (Dossier-to-China) referrals will be coming mid-November. Early June is us! So, hopefully, in a couple of weeks or less we'll know who our new little girl is going to be!
