The Fed Ex Guy Came!

We just received new pictures and her real birthday--10/15/08. At 5 months she weighed about 14-3/4 lbs. and was 26 inches long.
(There was a paperclip across her face in the the bottom pictures which accounts for the lines.)

We have a daughter!

We are thrilled to announce the referral of our daughter
Shiloh XiuZhen Woyke!
Birthdate: October 15, 2008
Chongqing Province

We will most likely travel in early to mid July. We will have more pictures and info tomorrow.

We wait

I thought I should post since it's been more than 6 weeks now and we thought that might be the outside window for a referral. China has not sent out in referrals yet for May--and it seems unlikely at this point that they will. They are responding to the H1N1 (swine flu) strain of influenza.
At this point there has been no info on when they might send out referrals again. In fact, they haven't even said they aren't sending them out in any definitive way. It seems they are just waiting. And so we wait. Today marks month 38 since we were officially "logged-in" in China.
