Our New Daughter

Hello!
We are so blessed to announce the referral of our beautiful daughter Li Li who is 9 months old. I am so grateful to all of you who posted pictures of your little ones before me because they really helped me get through the wait. I hope her picture will give some of you who are waiting hope that your little one will come home soon too. I sometimes wondered if it would ever happen. But when you look at that little face - the wait melts away and she melts your heart.
Deborah
