Our Journey to Elizabeth


>

I started this blog today so that friends and family will have a way to follow our journey as Marty and I travel to get our dear daughter Elizabeth who is currently living in Jiangcheng Baby House in Southern China.

I realize that like so many things in my life...I should have started this blog months ago...probably years ago. We started the journey toward Elizabeth in November of 2005...and there is so much that we have learned along the way that--things about China, about adoption, about ourselves and about the world.

Hopefully however in the next few weeks I will be able to fill you in on the important thing and especially on our journey to Guangzhou (formerly Canton) China to get dear daughter Elizabeth.


The photo above is the first photo we received and shows Elizabeth at 6 months old.

Here is some of the basic information we know about our little girl:


Birthdate: January 15th 2007.


Chinese Name: Jiang, Chengqin (her first name is Chengqin-which means honest and dear)

Weight at one day old: 8.8 pounds



We were meant to be brought together with our little girl. And even though she was thousands of miles away, the universe pulled all it's string to unite us with our precious little girl.
