Referral


We received "the call" yesterday from our agency. We have been referred a little boy. He was born 5/11/07, which makes him almost 13 months old. His given name is Son Nhi (Nhi is his first name meaning Little One). We have not decided on the name we want to give him! He was born very premature weighing only 3 lbs at birth. He stayed in the hospital after birth for 2 months prior to going to the orphanage.

The agency sent us all of his medical information and a bunch of pictures. He is determined to be healthy with the possibility of needing glasses later on in his life. As of 4/5/08 he weighed 17 lbs and is 24 inches tall.

We sent all his information to Children's Hospital. They have an International Adoption Center. They will review all his information to make sure the agency didn't miss anything. We will get a call from them on Monday and will send our paperwork back to the agency with our acceptance.

After the referral is accepted, we hope to travel in 4-5 months. We hope that will be early November. We will post his pictures on the blog also.

We are very excited and will give updates on him as they come.

He is incredibly adorable, and I can't wait to meet him. I am very happy for the both of you!
