Introducing Ella Addison Moon


We are very excited to introduce our daughter, Ella Addison Moon (FINALLY)!!!!!
She was born September 20, 2008 (9 months old) and has been cared for by the Chengxiang Social Welfare Institute since she was about five days old. She is in excellent health, loves to listen to music and play outside. At the time of her exam approximately 3 months ago she was 15 Lbs, 26 inches.
Words can not begin to express how blessed we feel. It's finally starting to feel real.
The next step...wait for travel approval from China which usually takes about 3 - 4 weeks. According to our agency we should be in China within five to seven weeks. Of course, we're ready to kiss those cheeks NOW!!

What a sweetie! All that hair reminds me of my Karsynn at referral. They are almost the same exact age at referral. Be sure to take some smaller clothes. Karsynn was 9 mo. when we got her and wore 3-6 month pants/shorts and 6-9 mo. shirts or onesies. Congrats!!! Can't wait to follow your journey.
