We have a new daughter!


We are so proud and honored to introduce our beautiful new daughter to everyone!
Chinese name: Chen Bing Wen
DOB: November 17, 2007 ( 7 1/2 mos old)
Height: 61 cm/24 inches
Weight: 7 kgms/15 lbs.
Date of last medical exam: May 08, 2008
City: Changsha
Province: Hunan
Orphanage: Chenzhou CWI
She is active, likes music, smiles a lot, grasps toys, she is a deep sleeper, and she responds to her name!
We are pretty sure her name will be Kaelin Bing Wen !
We got "The Call" at 3:37 this afternoon from Beth, our referral counselor at Great Wall! Our house has been crazy since then! This has been such an incredible day for our family! We are so very thankful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this beautiful gift we have been given!

Congratulations on your referral.

We too have a Spicy girl from the Chenzhou as well.

We have been home for 3 years now and I can't beleive how time has flown.

The orphanage is wonderful and keeps really good care of the girls. My husband got to visit the orphanage when we went to China and was so glad he went.
