Do you believe in angels?

We do! Another beautiful angel just joined our family!

For this child I prayed and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. - 1 Samuel 1:27

Chinese Name: Fu Jian Jia (For those that don't know - Fu is her last name. We should be able to find out the characters for her name tomorrow so we can translate it!)
Date of Birth: a Cinco de Mayo baby! May 5, 2007 - 13 months old

We missed her first birthday but all others will be celebrated in style!

I'm not sure when she was measured and such but she is a peanut like Hannah - 8.5 kg which my dad says is about 19 pounds! But I think she may be taller than Hannah was 71 cm. I don't know what that converts to - I need to check later! edited: at 12 months Hannah was 19 lbs, 29 1/4" tall and had a head circumference of 18". I just did the conversion and Sarah is 19 lbs, 28" tall and has a head circumference of 17" so she is shorter than Hannah was but about the same weight. However, they weigh the children fully dressed and by looking at the pictures it looks like she had quite a bit of clothing on. My guess is that she weighs a little less than 19 lbs. Of course we won't know until we get the paperwork and find someone who can translate it for us as to when she was measured.

Carolyn,
Check out www.mdbg.net (then choose China dictionary) to look up the characters for her name. You can search by pinyin, and then click on the character that looks the same as you have.
