Here she is!!








We got our referral today! And here she is, Miss Emma Claire Haynie, currently known as Qi Jia Yan, residing at the Qichun Welfare Institute in Hubei province in central China. She is 16-1/2 months old, born April 12, 2005 (Julia's BD!). She is walking, is described as active, fairly extroverted, fond of imitating, fond of listening to music and playing with toys, and gets along well with others. More to follow, but had to get these pics out. We're thrilled and think she's adorable!

She's absoultely gorgeous!!! I was just talking to my mom and she said to check your site . . . and here she is! We're so excited for you guys. Forrest says she looks just like Joe :-).

Were you surprised to get the referral today? Last time we emailed, you were hoping to get it before Joe had to leave the first week of September, weren't you? So what a happy surprise. Congrats!!

Oh what fun it is to check the joeydennyemma blog and be able to study every detail Emma's beautiful face and think about all the adventures that lie ahead.

So, what is she going to be for Halloween?

This is all thrilling beyond measure.
Love,
