In the five years that I have been involved in adoption from China (paperchasing for our first and our Grace adopted 2003)
I have never seen a baby referred as young as yours! That is awesome. Congrats. And I will be checking your blog every 30 minutes or so tomorrow.

We brought our Poyang baby home in late September. They take amazing care of the girls, and it's obvious they love them. There's a Poyang yahoo group that's pretty new -- they've only been doing IA for about a year. Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! God's timing is always perfect. I can't wait to meet your daughter and see your smile even bigger than it always is :-).
Congratulations on beginning the most incredible and wonderful journey of your life! My eldest was also 5 months old at referral - how wonderful that you'll have her in your arms at such a young age!
Congrats!!!! She is soooo young....how wonderful! Can't wait to see the pics of your little sweetie pie!

Congratulations on your referral!
When you are ready to obtain her finding ad (with a photo that pre-dates her referral photo by several months!) come visit us at www.research-china.org.
Hope you have a speedy trip to China!

Hi Courtney,
Congratulations, I know this is an long awaited exciting time for you and your husband.
We received, LID 10-23-05, our daughter, Bo Hui, DOB 1-11-07 on 10-28-07 she too was from the Poyang SWI.
They did not allow our group to visit the orphanage or finding spots. We were disappointed with this news. I was going to ask a favor if you get to visit the orphanage will you take a picture of our daughters primary care takere and her crib so we can put those in her lifebook. If you visit finding spots I would be so grateful for that too. I would send that info later.
A few packing tips, if you like coffee take your own, theirs is soooo strong that after you put enough creamer in it to thin it down, it's cold. All the rooms will come with coffee pots since you have to boil all the tap water.
Pack light for yourself, mix and match clothing. Take an extra suitcase for souveniors. Enjoy every minute and take lots of photos.
Looking forward to seeing a picture of your daughter.
Jill
OH CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Your little one is VERY young-- only 5 months. Our Mia was one of the youngest babies ever referred (most think). SHe was 5 months 2 days at referral and I think your baby is the closest I have see to her. WOW!!! CONGRATS and having her so young is SOOOOOO wonderful!!! WE got to see all of Mia's firsts and you will too. Mia was only 6 months on GOTCHA so she was one of the youngest babies ever. If you have any qustions please feel free to contact me at kcbock@hotmail.com. My blog is www.tomiawithlove.blogspot.com
Congrats!!!
Christy :)
Yay! I'm so happy for you!!! I'm also excited to read your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Those fortunes are just incredible, I can't wait to see her!
