Our little girl was born on Feb.22, 2010 and was picked up from the gate of the nurses office by a police officer in Qingyang city on april 22, 2010. She was about 2 months. She was found in a red sweater, wrapped with a pink quilt outside. The police then reported her to the police station. After investigation but failed attempts to find the birth parents-the picker respectively issued birth certificates for picking up abandoned baby. After examination and approval by the Welfare Institute of Qingyang City-she was agreed to be admitted. She has been raised by the Welfare Institute of Qingyang City to this day. A physical exam was done and results were fairly normal-although she is very small and has a deformity of the right ear (actually one ear is small and low set and the other is larger and is pinned out-we will take her to a specialist when she gets home). They say she can follow noises and likes to smile. They say she responds to her name.
We have her medical exams and will just continue to trust God with her overall development. We know that at about 9 months old-she was about 11 pounds. We have her updated weight of about 15 pounds at 14 months old. She will be about 17 months by the time we bring her home! Please pray that our travel approval will come soon so that we can begin knowing more of our exact travel dates-we should find those out in June hopefully so we can better plan what our July might look like! I think of her birth mom often and pray for her as well-I know she made a tough decision to give this child up. We pray that each and every day someone would rock or hold her. Please join us in praying the same for our baby Belle.
