I Think We Have A Daughter!

The social worker at our agency called and said there is a precious little girl in Guangxi Province who is waiting for a family, and they thought she might just fit in our home! Would we like to review her file?

Her name is Sī Jìng, and her birthday is 10/15/06. Although she is described as easy to comfort by hugging when fussy and as a good sleeper, she is also described as "active and restless" and with "quick reactions." Yes, she sounds like a Norton!

The next step is to develop a care plan saying we would like to adopt her and outlining how we will care for her. The paperwork we did last winter was general evidence suggesting that, in general, we would be suitable adoptive parents. This time, this round two paperwork will be supporting our assertion that we will be the right family for this specific little girl. She is going to need some extra care, and we feel we have the background and resources to offer it.

I don't know the exact timeline, but I'm hoping that we'll be going to bring her home in the spring 2008. :)
