WHO IS SHE?

Here's a little about Erin -- based on the information packet we received with her pictures.

She was born 8 April 2006. She currently weighs 17 pounds -- we think much of that must be in those dimply, adorbale thighs!

The literal translation of her Chinese name is: Jiang=River; Cheng=Honesty; Guo=Fruit

She has been well-cared for by the orphanage and her diet consists of baby formula with rice flour porridge, supplemented by vitamins, calcium, cod liver oil, and juice. When in an unfamiliar environment she looks around with curiosity but when strangers approach she is frightened and begins to cry. We hope she won't cry much when we meet her!

The oprhange writes that "she is an adorable baby with a very sweet disposition." We could see that by just looking at those beautiful eyes!

We are already so in love with her and we can't wait for her to meet all of our wonderful and loving family and friends.

We will continue to post -- and let you know when we leave for China!

LOVE,
Steve and Sheila
