Woo Hoo!
At last...
Your daughter remsembles mine (who is also from Jiangxi and has Qing as one of her CN).
Do you know which SWI she is residing in?
If you need anything...info about Nanchang... whatever... feel free to write. There is an email link on the contact section of my blog.
Congratulations!

Congratulations!!
A huge congrats to you both... get ready for the amazing, crazy ride :)
What a beautiful baby! Congratulations!!
Found you on RQ. Congratulations to you!! She is beautiful! She must be from Taihe SWI, since my twins are also from there and are also "Dong Fang" girls! Make sure to look up the Taihe SWI yahoo group when you get time.

Hi congratulations,
Just a short comment from Holland. We just adopted ou twin-daughters. Both were named Xia (surname) and it meant 'Summer'. I think the Chinese word for small is 'Xiao'. Thought I let you know.
Good luck with your beautiful girl.
