REFERRAL PHOTO!!!







Jon and I are absolutely thrilled to finally introduce you to our beautiful daughter
Yi, Ai Ying. Yi is her last name. Ai means Love and Ying means a lovely green finch. This is rather interesting as my mother Rosie loves birds and use to have many finch as pets.

Our daughter will be named Stefanie Ai Ying . She was born on April 8, 2005 and currently resides at the YiYang Children's Social Welfare Institute, Hunan Province, China. Hunan province is located in the Southern part of China. Stefanie currently has two teeth, and is approximately 17lbs. In China, children are weighed with clothes on and wear layers of clothing to protect their skin. Jon and I would be considered good parents if we layer our daughter in China with at least three layers of clothing. We have no clue how many layers of clothes Stefanie is wearing but she must really be loved, so we do not exactly know how much she really weighs until we meet her. Looks like Stefanie is unable to bend her arms.

We would like to thank everyone for all your love, support and most importantly help during our two year process. We can not wait for our trip to finally bring our daughter home!
