Introducing Li Mei Cheng Miller (Snapdragon)

Here she is! We received the call and photo at 8:51 am.
We will travel in 5-7 weeks to bring her home to her forever family.
Name: Jiang Cheng Shuang (sincere and bright)
DOB: February 7, 2007 (She will be 9 months old tomorrow!)
Orphange: Zhangjiang, Jiang Cheng District Welfare Institute
Province: Guangdong Province (see map)
Taken to the orphanage on Feb. 8, 2007

Weight on Sept. 28 was 17.6 lbs.
Length 27.17 inches
She is healthy, alert, sits on her own, holds her head up when lying on her tummy, crawls, recognizes her name and her caregiver. She sits in her baby walker. Her favorite toy is a colorful ball. She reaches and grabs for things and follows a voice. She laughs outloud and likes music. She is a deep sleeper and likes her schedule. She wakes up at 6:30, naps at noon and goes to bed at 9:30. She eats at 7:oo, 11:00, 4:00, 8:00 and midnight ( a milk and rice based formula). She also is given vitamins, codliver oil and calcium.

We are overjoyed! Thank you to all for your prayers and support through this journey. We thank God for another beautiful, healthy daughter and can't wait to hold her! We even think she looks like Buttercup when she was a baby. Especially, the cheeks, lips and even the hair (without curls)!

BTW I think they are cutting her hair. They don't cut all the girls hair but they cut my daughter's hair. And I think your little one has the same hair texture as my little MJ.
