HERE SHE IS




Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!!!


Mr Fedex came today about 1:30 and brought me the most beautiful picture I have ever seen. It is with great joy I introduce to you...Mylia Joy. Her Chinese name is Wang Yue Feng. She was born on May 25, 2006. (Clayton's birthday) From what I can tell from the information sent, (most of it is in Chinese - I will get a translation soon) her measurements were taken when she was about 5 months old and she was almost 13 pounds and was about 24 inches. She is currently in the Yujiang Social Welfare Institute in the Jiangxi province. Her health is normal. She can locate the direction of sound/voice, can follow you with moving head from one side to the other She can distinguishe between acquaintances and strangers. She is a quiet baby and is fond of listening to music. This is all the information I have at this time. We don't know when our pre-travel meeting is yet, but will find out in a few days. We are soooo hoping to get to travel sometime during the first part of February. (before Chinese New Year which begins on February 18)


I talked to Clayton on the phone and emailed him all this information along with her photo. We are so excited and thankful to God. God has blessed us so much with our four boys, and now, we have the honor of being this precious child's parents too. I can't say it enough...Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!!


Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to travel to China and as we continue on this incredible journey to our precious little Mylia.

Congratulations Yolanda,
She is so sweet & beautiful. I know you are so proud and happy.The Nursery is sweet also.
We did not make it this time as the reason I mentioned to you before. Talked with Penny & she said it should be in about 2 weeks. Not sure if it will be that soon myself. We shall she. Please keep up with us on our blog and at Red Thread Kids.

We brought our Katie home from Jiangxi this past May! She is such a joy in our family.
