Introducing _____ Tianxia Bales!!!!!

Here she is! These pictures were taken on October 12, 2007 so she was 5 months old. She's a sweetie! We'll be deciding on her American name in the next few days as we need to provide it along with our acceptance paperwork. Her medical file went to a doctor today who specializes in International Adoptions. She sure looks healthy to us!

She's amazing Despy! I hope her and Hannah have lots of playdates as they grow up together!

We need a name! We have so many "xia"s in the group!

So very very happy for you! Can't wait to share some pork buns together in Hunan!

Dear Despy & Tom,

I was hhoping to talk to you on Sunday and letting you know how happy I am for you. God is so good - His timing is always perfect. I'll be anxious to see this wonderful gift He has given you.
