Big news -- we got "the call" at 1 p.m. yesterday from our adoption agency (The Barker Foundation) and it's a girl!!! The referral is being translated into English today and we expect to go to Barker on Friday to get pictures and the medical history. The details are:
Name: Dong Fang Yu Hua
Birthdate: 9/25/06 (one day before Rachel's mother's!)
Province: Jiangxi
Here is the link for a map of the China provinces (it is in the Southeast close to Guangzhou).

She is at the Taihe Social Welfare Institute (in the Southern part of the province).
We learned that she is in a smaller orphanage that is located in a poor farming community. We are very anxious to get the rest of the information and more importantly to see her picture! We plan to have our friend, Michelle Potter (who is a pediatrician), look over the medical information on Friday or Saturday. Then we have until the end of next week to accept the referral. When we get the pictures on Friday, we will scan them and post them so everyone can see. We are ecstatic!

We're so excited for you!! Mazel tov...we know it's been a long wait, but we know it will be worth it. Can't wait to see pictures and hear more!
I think Yu Hua might mean Jade Flower. Or it might mean something else entirely, since I'm not sure google is the best way to translate Chinese into English. Either way, we're so excited for you and can't wait to see the pictures!
