Introducing Yu Cai Yin

Meet our new daughter Yu Cai Yin!! She was born September 23, 2006 in Jiangxi Province. In the referral pictures below she is 41/2 months old. She has been living with a foster family through the Xinyu City Social Welfare Institute in Jiangxi and will soon be coming home to Castle Rock, Colorado!! We couldn't be happier and are so thankful to God for bringing her into our lives. We look forward to bringing her home in August. Our agency estimates that we will leave for China in 5-7 weeks. Please continue to pray that everything runs smoothly with our travel approval from China so that we will be able to leave mid-August!! I just want to nibble on those cheeks!!

OH MY GOODNESS HEATHER!!! SHE IS ADORABLE!!! I cant belive how cute she is and in foster care-- you will be very thankful for that!!! I am just so happy for you guys and told everyone at church yesterday that you would be seeing your baby for the first time today.

I came across your blog off RQ. We are a CCAI family with a little one from Xinyu too! But she's been home for 3 years now. There is a Xinyu yahoo group to share info about the SWI. I would love to see you there!

Congratulations on your beautiful daughter. (I read about your good news through the Xinyu Yahoo group.)

We arrived home to Canada Feb. 16/07 with our Yu Cai Xing, also from Xinyu SWI. We had 10 babies from Xinyu in our group, all of them had been in foster care. They are all now healthy and happy and growing like weeds!

Good luck with your trip...it will be a time you will never forget!
