We received the joyful news today that our referal approval arrived at the adoption agency! They are sending it to us via overnight FedEx and we have to sign the papers and get it back to them by Monday. If all goes as planned, we are expected to leave for China late December or early January. Since we have now received the full approval to adopt her, I can share her photos. So with no further ado, I present to you Caroline Mei HuiQi.

Now we have to jump through the hoops of getting Chinese Visas for the four of us, as well as decide what we need to pack, collect paperwork, and all the other fun stuff that comes six weeks before travel. I'm quite excited and can't think of anything I'd rather be planning to do for the holidays!
Love,
Petrie

Congratulations, Petrie! I'm so excited for y'all. (And I'm sending my momma the link. You know how she is... techno-not-savvy.)
Petrie--Your beautiful Caroline--is such a vision of hope and I am beyond thrilled for you. You are such an amazing mom--and she is so blessed to have you--as you are her. She is truly beautiful! Can't wait to follow you to China for what looks like "the most precious of holidays--Christmas"...now that is a GIFT!
Blessing my friend.
