We have received a tentative travel date for going to China of February 9 and we will have concrete plans in about a week. We are totally excited and ready to go and pick up Grace. We realize it is all in God's perfect timing. We named her Grace Yuhong Elmore. We selected Grace because it is by God's grace that we are able to adopt her. Linda, a good friend from China, helped us pick her middle name which is Yuhong 雨虹 and she selected the Chinese characters also. Yu means rain and hong means rainbow so together it means rainbow after the rain. Hong is after both Fifi, who is a good friend from Taiwan and Linda. God is awesome.

We finally received our referral of Grace today. We have been waiting for a long time but it was worth it. She is so beautiful. She is 14 months old. Her Chinese name is Huang, Ping Gin and she is from Hubei Province. It is so nice to have a picture of our daughter. She has been in our hearts for many years. We thank God for blessing us with such a wonderful daughter. We hope to leave to pick her up sometime toward the end of January or first of Febuary. We can't wait and we are ready to pick her up now.

We got a call at 1:23 pm today about our baby girl. She is 14 months old and was born on October 7, 2004 in the province of Hubei, China. Her Chinese name is Huang, Ping Gin. We are excited and relieved. We will travel in early February to pick her up. We will update more tomorrow when we receive a paper copy of more information.
