Wow! What a quick turn of events! We petitioned for a child off of Harrah's newest list last week knowing that they take petitions from all interested families and then a committee selects the family. We figured it might work out but that it also might not.
Well tonight, at 5:04pm we received the phone call that we are Wan Jin Pei's family! She is a cutie! Wait until you see the hairstyle! Unfortunately, you really do have to wait a few weeks until we have Pre-approval from China but I promise to post within minutes of that happening!
She was born on March 13, 2007 and is at the Social Welfare Institute of Wanzai County in the Jiangxi province... the same province her sister Brynn is from. The paperwork states she is in the orphange but in her growth report it says "She could tell family members through her eyes and their voices" and from what I have read in the past 4 hours, many children from this orphanage are in foster care. Guess we will find out later. The paperwork also says she has 24 teeth which I don't think many 4 month olds (her age at the time) have!
We are excited. Now we need to tell the grandparents and her future siblings. At least the latter group has an idea this was a possibility after our homestudy visit last week!
