We are overjoyed with our new daughter and sister, Ellie Hill. Ellie is in an orphanage located in Dingyuan, Anhui. The province of Anhui (pronounced On-way) is located west of Shanghai.
Ellie's birth date is February 28, 2006. She is just over 9 months old. We hope to go and get her in the middle of January. Please follow our two week journey to China, and feel free to forward this address to your family and friends!
Here is some other info that we received with her pictures:
Chinese Name: Xi Meng Jiao (pronounced She Mang Zhow)
Weight at 7 months: 14.3 lbs
She is attached to her nanny and gets excited when her food comes! (she is obviously our daughter)
We hope to know by Christmas when our exact travel dates will be. As soon as we know, we will post those dates.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season filled with love and joy!
