It's a Girl!

We received a referral of a 6 1/2 month old baby girl on 3/15/06. We were so surprised to get a girl- this is our first child- we don't even have a name picked out yet!

Her name is Lee, So Young. She was born 8/27/05 and she is still living in the orphage right now, but we hope she will go to foster care soon.

She has a few minor medical things- she was hospitalized twice as an infant and she has a slight heart murmur/defect (PDA) that might be closed by now but we don't know.

She is so cute!!! I hope that she is in the foster home soon. And I second the statement that I hope that she has no long lasting effects.

Congrats on the referral of your little girl!!
