WELCOME TO CATHERINE'S LITTLE SISTER
Catherine was 6 on June 5, 2007. On August 2, after almost 2 years of waiting, we received this referral pix from Christian World Adoption http://www.cwa.org/. Catherine's little sister was:
Lin, Yan Xue
Born September 27, 2006
residing in Linxiang SWI
Linxiang, Hunan, China
She is now:
ELIZABETH MEI TURNAGE and is:
71cm [27in]
9kg [19.8lbs]
and has 6 teeth
We were 'expedited' to China to get ahead of the October Trade Show and holiday seasons. So - we leave Charleston early 14SEP and arrive Beijing 300P 15SEP.
And return leaving Hong Kong about noon 27SEP and arrive Charleston 1042P
Stay tuned! There is a 12hr time difference between China and the EDT. We will later post our travel plans and be soliciting your prayers for safe and healthy traveling and immediate and deep attachments all the way around.
Thank you for viewing our blog!
