Here she is: Miss Eleanor Jia Meng! We are so proud and in love, even before meeting her. Ellie, as she will be called, is almost 1. Her birthday is September 30. She is from Henan province, which is the most populated and poorest province in China. I have heard that it also amazingly beautiful and rich with Chinese history. We cannot wait to meet our little one and to see where she was born-- hopefully this winter we will be traveling to China, with big brother Nicholas in tow. Ellie's caregivers have told us that she is "stubborn and a little bit shy." Well, if she is stubborn, she will fit in very well around here.
Ellie also has cleft lip and palate. We are familiar with this condition as Nicholas was born with this birth defect also. While Nicholas had his initial repairs done in China, we have requested that Ellie have her's done here, where the medical care will be more under our control. I am thankful that I have gone through at least part of the procedures and therapies with Nicholas so that I can help Ellie better.
I am feeling so grateful right now that I have been blessed with yet another beautiful (and stubborn) child!
