Introducing Isla Zi Shao

We can't begin to express how excited we are right now. This is Isla. She was born in the south of China in the Guangdong province on Dec 2oth 2006 and is currently in an orphanage in Yangxi county.

Enjoying a peaceful excursion in the country side.

Isla taking the directors role at the orphanage.

Booked after being caught attempting the V0 crib problem.

We received a call from our agency yesterday at 1pm. I was at work and Barb was at home so we couldn't be together when we learned who our daughter would be. Fortunately we were able to have a conference call though a phone is not easy to hug.

Our agency received a package that contains more info but its all in Chinese and they will need to translate it before we learn more about Isla. This should happen early next week and they hope to have the translations to us by midweek.

It was wonderful share the news with everyone yesterday... and we are still calling more of Isla's new friends and family today.

Update: Sorry to remove the pitures. Once we receive our packet we realized we were not supposed to post to pictures online. Family / friends please contact us if you haven't seen her yet.
