Referral

We are so blessed to announce the referral of our baby, Hannah Elizabeth.
Chinese name: Xiu Fu Lan
DOB: May 20, 2006
Location: Xiushan Social Welfare Institute, Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan Province

Right now that is all the information that we have. Hopefully, we will have the English translations and a picture tomorrow. If not, then it will be Monday.

Congratulations on this exciting day!
God is so good - we rejoice with you!
We brought our daughter home from China on May 18th - just two days before your sweet Hannah was born!
Blessings,

Congratulations on your referral! Hello from a family who just moved from Ramstein (we miss it there). I wish we could have met your family. We received our daughter on Mother's Day, the day you were taking the Rhein cruise and just six days before your daughter was born! After our time in China we returned to our home near Ramstein and three weeks later boarded a plane to move back to the States. Warm wishes for a wonderful trip. Hannah will be in your arms and in a backpack exploring Europe soon! We used the travel agency in Einsedelerhof near Vogelweh, on the back road by McDonalds, but on the other end past the Bambusgarten (oh we miss that place and Miss Tao so badly) and near the Toyota dealership. We flew British Airways and really enjoyed our flights--each seat had its own TV even in the cheap seats and we didn't feel too crunched (I cannot say the same for flying United returning to the States). We bought a seat for the baby on the return trip and it was worth it and not too expensive, just a couple hundred euro which was worth the space and extra meal. The time change wasn't bad at all with only a 6 hour difference from China. If you can, try to time your returning flight so that you can drive home, run to the Commissary, grab a bite to eat and then snuggle into bed at a "normal" time in Germany. Sorry this is so long. Best wishes to you!
with love,
Libby and Family

Congratulations on Hannah! We were just in Chongqing in August to meet our Marcie. It's a great city. I thought it was actually its own province AND municipality, even though it doesn't have its own borders on maps. . .hmm. . . doesn't really matter-- what matters is getting Hannah home!
