A Current Picture of Mia!!


We met a woman through a chat group for people adopting from Mia's orphanage. She is currently in Guangzhou picking up her daughter. Before she left, we asked her to look for Mia and try to get a picture for us. Amazingly, she found Mia among all the children at the orphanage, and sent us a picture which was taken earlier today! She said that Mia was very smiley and appeared healthy, which has been a big concern as many kids coming out of her orphanage recently have been sick. Note her likeness to me. Suffice it to say that her balding hair pattern matches mine perfectly... Clearly our daughter!

She looks perfect! She looks really healthy! I was a little worried to hear about the other kids with upper resp. infections.
I'll be thinking about you guys - travel safely and I'll see you soon.
I love you both!

Lia's exact quote: "Mia's the cutest baby I ever saw - except me when I was a baby! Right, mom?" She is beautiful! What a way to start the new year!

Hey Guys- I am so excited for you. She looks so adorable! I can't believe that video of the orphanage. It looks like baby prison. Mia will be so happy to get home with you guys. I hope all of the other babies find homes soon too!

Hi Stacy & Mike,
We couldn't be more thrilled for the both of you. It will be so comforting to know that Mia will have such amazing parents after viewing the footage from the orphanage. I want to adopt all of the babies after seeing that. Mia is sooo adorable! Safe travels and we can't wait to meet Gwenyth's new best friend!
much love- Lisa, Steve and Gwenyth Pastor
