Chinese Name: Yue Mei Huan
She will be: Makaila Mei Hertzler
On 11/24/2009 the following information was given: 5.2 kg (11.46 lbs.), 57.5 cm (23 inches).
The referral pictures were taken on 11/23/2009 (3 months old).
DOB: August 30, 2009
Province: Jiangxi
Orphanage: SWI of Yugan County
We were given the following information: Deep sleeper, holds her head up while lying on her stomach, locates the direction of sound/voice, visually follows moving toys, follows you with moving head from one side to the other, laughs aloud, knows name, turns when called, is active, restless and quick in reaction. She is closest to her caretaker.
She is currently 8 1/2 months old. We received her official package today and have accepted the referral and have already FedEx'd it out priority. At this time we do not know when we will travel. Our best guess is end of June beginning of July. Once the acceptance package has been received by China, we should receive updated information from them. They "try" to send this information out prior to travelling. We do not know how big she is currently as we only have information from when she was 3 months old. Her pediatrician has reviewed the paperwork and pictures received and everything looks good.
We are IN LOVE with her and CANNOT wait to travel so we can hold her in our arms FOREVER!!!!
I am soooo excited for you! We can't wait to meet her!
