Introducing

Our agency called us on Friday, July 10th as I was out running errands with the kids. They had a file they wanted our family to review...a little girl they thought looked like a perfect fit for our family. About 20 minutes later, I saw her face and knew I would bring this girl home. Her sweet round face and prominent forehead reminded me of my other babies already at home. I forwarded her picture to Robert who was at work. He said when he saw it, he audibly gasped in a meeting and then told his coworkers he had just seen his daughter for the first time. We are thrilled to introduce her to you! We are still working on her English name, but here she is...name coming soon! 

Zhou Hui Jing

Born: June 22, 2014

 

A few things we know about Hui Jing:

* Hui means intelligent and Jing means virtuous. (It is pronounced "we ching.") 

* Her birthday is just 6 weeks after Rachel Beth...so Rachel has a new "twin" sister.

* She was born with a cleft lip and palate. Her lip has been repaired but her palate remains open. We will need to have it repaired when she gets home. 

* She lives in the province of Henan.

* We hope to travel in about 4 months to bring her home. We are thrilled we will have our family complete under our Christmas tree this year. 

Two days after we saw her picture for the first time, while at church, we met a family who just got home with their son who is also from China and who also was born with a cleft lip and palate. We are  continually blessed by the encouraging people God places in our lives. It is especially encouraging to meet people who are a few steps ahead. 

We are thankful for the opportunity to bring this sweet girl home as our daughter and can't wait to have her home!
