More information

Our girls Chinese names are You Fu Xin and You Fu Jing. They were born on October 5 (a day before my birthday!) It appears that they are very healthy and have been well taken care of. They are at the Youyang Social Welfare Institute in the Chongqing Municipality of China. Based on the limited information that I can find on the web (too bad I can't read Chinese), it appears to be more of a rural city. The orphanage is only a few years old and adoptions have only been occurring for a few years from this location. We will be staying in the large city of Chongqing and they will bring the girls to our hotel. Can't imagine what a tearful and crazy day that will be. Our prayer and hope is that we will be able to travel to become a family before October 5 so pray that along with us. It appears that there is a temporary slow down in China to receive consulate appointments. October is not a good time to travel to China due to many reasons. Plus, we want to go get our girls now!! We will be traveling with a few more families from our agency and look forward to a wonderful experience.
