(This photo was taken August 2006)
Seeing my little girl's precious face for the first time was the most amazing moment in my life!!! My first word was she is "beautiful". Channing is living in the Guangxi Province which is in the southern part of China right above Vietnam.
I received a wonderful package on her with lots of information!! Channing spent her first years living in a foster family and recently she is being cared for at the Social Welfare Institute (orphanage) so she can attend the pre-school program. Channing is one healthy girl and has the most kissable lips in the world!!!

I cant stop looking at her picture, I'm absolutley in love!! I cant wait to see a smile on her adorable face for the first time!!!
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculouslyMy own.
Never forget For a single minute:You didn't grow under my heart
But in it.

Congratulations Kim!!Have your feet touched the ground yet? We are so happy for you and welcome you to the 'Mom Club'. Are your bags packed for the trip? Hope this gets posted, have had trouble doing so.Much love,Lorne & Judy
She is beautiful. My daughter is also from Wuzhou, DOB 4-22-04. Her name was/is Wu Bao Jiang. Bao was given to all the babies born or brought into the SWI in 2004. The orphanage director and staff give the same name to all the babies in one year so 2004 has Bao or treasure/precious. All babies have Wu no matter what year. I used Baojiang as a 2nd middle name. Jiang is very hard to pronouce for us southerners.Congrats again.BeverlyDD Glenys (my Wuzhou wonder)adotion day 7-26-05
