Whew!

Sorry about not posting more about Miaya, but with finishing up on the moving, and work, and etc, it has been a very busy few days here.

What more do we know? Well, she was found on the steps of the Middle School next door to the orphanage, and there was a slip of paper in her clothing that gave her birthdate. We have also seen the Chinese text of her Finding Advertisement that was published in the local newspaper, we also have the English translation. She is described as an active, outgoing baby, and in December she was beginning to crawl.

I cannot begin to truly describe the way I have been feeling now, relief is probably a big part of it.
Relief that we finally knew who our daughter was, relief that the endless uncertainty was behind us, and relief that we could begin to really live our lives again. Also, relief that we now had something to show that we really were doing this thing!

Kim & Michael,
It is amazing to me- I find so much in all this. Kim, you a teacher and Miaya was found at a school..One of our daily conversations was that you questioned how you would know her real birthday if she was abandoned...This child was made with you in mind. Could God's hand in this be any clearer? You two hang tight and it won't be long til her eyes meet yours!!
