It's a GIRL!!

After much consideration, we are proud to announce Baby Girl Chu-Ba to the rest of the world.  We finally received our Pre-Approval today!! We'll be starting out home study soon and hope to travel by late summer.  The jury is still out on a name, but here is a bit of information about her:

Her Chinese name is Feng Qiu Dan and she is currently 9 months old and is in the Fengcheng Social Welfare Institute in Fengcheng City, Jiangxi, China.  Her birthday is December 23, 2010 and she was born 18 days after we got home from China with Parker.  (I knew when we were in China, even BEFORE we met Parker, that we'd be going back!)

We are fortunate to be with our same adoption agency as last time... AAC in Colorado.  We had such a wonderful experience with them last time and I was really hoping we'd be able to use them again.  When this little one popped up on RainbowKids.org and I saw AAC listed as the agency, I jumped, no RAN to call and request her file.  I certainly can't wait to meet this little one!  So excited doesn't even begin to explain how we're feeling!
