We're expecting!!!

Our LOI was sent to China last Thursday, and today, after ONLY 8 days!! we received our PA!!!!!  We are now so excited to introduce you to our oldest daughter from China, Tai Fujiang, soon to be Alyssa Hope Jiang, or Alyssa Hope Fujiang - haven't decided for sure on the Chinese part of her name...she turned 7 years old on February 16, and we are now in the paperchase again!!  She is in the Jiangsu Province, so we will be traveling to Nanjing, the capital city when we travel to complete our adoption and bring her home.  In her interview with Aleda Madison, Jiangjiang, as the nannies call her, was asked "what's the best thing that's ever happened to you?"  Her reply was, "It will be when I am adopted and go to live in America with my foreign mommie" - don't that just break you down???  She also hopes to visit her best friends again, and we definitely want to do that!!  Here are some pictures, mostly taken in November, with a few we have found through the family that adopted her best friend.  They live in Illinois, and the other family with her other best friend lives in Richmond!!  We hope to get the 3 back together again at some point.  In another post, I will share the amazing story of these sweet girls.  For now, enjoy some pictures of our newest daughter!!!
