Stefanie's nickname is Ying Ying. Today, her medical file was evaluated by Dr. Dana Johnson at the International Adoption Clinic located in Minnesota. Ying Ying is considered to be healthy, with the exception she might be a bit short for her age. This was not really a surprise considering she is Chinese and most of the people tend to be a bit smaller. We have been told Ying Ying will receive a birthday cake this Saturday, April 8, and they will take a photo for us. YEAH!!!
Here is Stefanies latest update:
Height: 27.5 inches
Weight: 18 lbs
Head: 17.3 inches
Feet: 3.9 inches
Teeth: 2 upper and 2 lower
Dr. Johnson believes if our Ying Ying grows at the same rate, and her information is accurate then he thinks she may be a size 8-9 month by the time we travel in May.
Our agency is pushing for us to travel from May 19 - June 1. Everything will be up in the air until we receive our travel approval from China, (A letter inviting us to come to China to adopt Stefanie). After the travel approvel (TA) arrives, our agency can then take assigned numbers from the document and find out what consulate appointments are available at that time. After booking the consulate appointments, our agency can book our flights to travel. I will post the updated information as soon as we know more.
Jon and I are waiting to find out if we will receive any updated photos of Stefanie before we travel.
