After waiting and waiting and waiting . . . we are happy to announce the referral of our beautiful daughter, Madison Elisabeth. Madison was born July 1, 2006 and is currently waiting for us at the Lujiang Social Welfare Institute located in the Anhui province of China.
As of her last medical exam in May, Madison weighed 22 pounds, was 29½ inches tall and had six teeth. Her Chinese name, given to her by the orphanage, is Lu Xia Ye and is a reference to the season of summer. We are told she is healthy, active and quick. She loves playing games, has a ready smile and laughs out loud quite often.
We expect to make our long journey to her in about two month’s time. We cannot wait to get her home and introduce her to everyone.
Thank you to all of you who have lent your support, kind words and prayers over the past two years. The waiting is almost over!
Angie and Mike
