HERE SHE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, we are thrilled beyond belief to finally introduce our sweet Maggie to everyone. She is obviously extremely healthy and so precious. Thank you to everyone who has supported us through these four years. Here is her info:

Birth date 7/7/08 (she will be around 15-16 months when we get her).
Guandong province (not sure if I spelled it correctly, have not had a chance to get the exact spelling yet of all of this info.
We will travel in 6-8 weeks and will be in Guanghzhou the entire time.

Hey, it's TB from RQ and your Maggie is simply gorgeous!!!! Congratulations on the referral of such a darling and healthy looking little girl!

I also have a Guangdong girl (they're ALL beautiful!) and received our referral three years ago tomorrow -- we traveled an excruciating 9 weeks after referral due to the Trade Fair (from November 1 - 18 -- oh and we had to be there an extra week at that time). I sure hope you're able to travel sooner, 'cause 9 weeks is TOO LONG TO WAIT!! You'll enjoy spending two weeks in Guangzhou.

Just try to stop smiling, even for a minute -- I'll bet you can't!

She is too darn cute. We traveled in January and stayed in Guangzhou the entire time. We loved Shamian Island.

She's adorable! We were in Guangzhou the whole time too - we brought our daughter, Lily, home almost 2 years ago. Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! Maggie is absolutely adorable!! Our daughter was the same age at referral, and though we were so sorry we missed her first birthday, that sadness evaporated the moment we met her. Enjoy this exciting time.

Stephanie,

We are with CCAI and we were told that we would be travelling during the trade fair -- but we'll see how the plans go.

Jenn said...

Congratulations! She is beautiful. What SWI? Our girl is from Guangdong as well, and we just got back from China on Friday. China was wonderful, but Guangzhou was HOT, so bring lots of cool clothes, just in case it doesn't cool off yet. :) Feel free to send me a PM for any info. I'm Jdubs03 on the forum.

Congratulations! I found your blog through RQ, and have to ask if your girl is from the same orphanage as our daughter. (We returned home July 10) That wicker chair looks very familiar! If so, I'd love to pass along any info we have!

She is so cute. She is from the same province as our son. We were matched yesterday as well. Are you with CCAI? Maybe we will be traveling together

Another darling Guangdong girl! Gosh she's beautiful, and like you say, healthy!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! From the backdrop and a mention on another RQ site, I'm thinking your daughter is from Lianjiang SWI in Guangdong province. That is also where our daughter is from. We've been home two and a half years now. All the girls in our travel group were from Lianjiang, and all appeared to be happy, healthy and well cared for at the SWI.

The Yahoo group for this SWI is very friendly, and there is a lot of info available there. Hope to see you again online!

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful little baby your Maggie is!!

So happy for your entire family!

She's a cutie. I'm mom to two Guangdong girls! One from Yangchun (2003) and Dongguan (2007). Guangdong rocks!

Donna said...

Maggie is so cute! It was impossible not to smile while looking at that cute chubby face! Adorable!

Our Guangdong girl was also 15 months when we met her. You'll be surprised to see how much of a baby she still is!

Congratulations on your much anticipated referral!

Our Maggie is from Guangdong province too. Like a PP, I'm guessing Lianjiang as well, based on the photo, which is where our dd is from! She was well taken care of and of course, beautiful! Congratulations!

Tigger said...

Congrats on your referral, Maggie is adorable. I too have a LianJiang baby. Our daughter is going to be 4 next month and I can not say enough about the orphanage, they took such good care of the babies and loved them so much. It is very obvious in our travel group of girls. Congrats again and have a great trip.

I always love it when the referrals come in... to see all those gorgeous little babies finding their families... congrats..

She is absolutely beautiful. What a sweet and precious gift from God. I found your blog through another friend's blog and had to stop by. We adopted our son from Vietnam two and a half years ago. There's nothing like our sweet children.
