WOW, I don't know where to start....we are blessed, thrilled, beyond words and excited to announce that we received word of our PA (Pre-Approval) yesterday, 7/22-Earl's birthday- for a beautiful 8 year old, little girl!! We are over-the-moon excited and praise God for bringing us our "baby" girl!!!
While there was no doubt that God had an ultimate plan for our family, it's been a long and difficult 8 months. This is our 4th attempt at adoption #2, with the first attempt this past December, 2010 when traveling to China to bring home a 13 year old girl but returning home, brokenhearted and empty, without our daughter.
We attempted 2 more adoptions thereafter but for different reasons, these didn't work out ...today, we know why these adoptions didn't work out because God has now brought us our daughter...Sterling & Justin's sister...and daddy's little girl!!
Without further delay, allow me to introduce to you our beautiful daughter!
Chinese Name: Li Jing Yun
American Name: Arabella (we'll call her Bella)
Arabella means "answered prayer" and Bella means "beautiful"
Middle Name: Chinese name TBD
DOB: 10/11/2002
Province: Guangdong
Living Arrangements: Foster Family

Our First Impression: The beauty in her bright eyes and her big smile!

Our daughter is a burn survivor and has more courage and determination than any adult we know..she has beauty that radiates from her eyes, smile and inner most being.
