Unexpected Bennett Referral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Lian Xin Chu Posted by Picasa
Holy Smokes!
She's ours!
Without further ado, meet our new daughter
Lian Xin Chu
to be named
Amelia Rose Bennett
Her estimated birthdate is August 26, 2005
Year of the Rooster!
She lives at the Lianjiang Social Welfare Institute in Guangdong Province.
At 4 months she weighed 13 lb. and was 23 inches long. "She enjoys the sunshine and her favorite toy is a rattle" :)
We arent LID until 9/12, but submitted a waiting child list in December. Her "special need" is Ptosis of the right eye (droopy eyelid)
We were stunned to learn at 3:33 on Monday, April 3 (yesterday!) that she is ours!
Who knew you could fall in love with a picture????
