Mia Michele Li Harrell




We are so blessed, we now have a daughter!!

Her name is Li Tong Qian

Date of Birth: October 7, 2005 (8 months)

She weighed (at 6 mos.) 15.25lbs and is 26" long

She is in foster care in Qianjiang, Chongqing

I was shaking when I took the call and our agencies director called himself! He said, "Hi I have good news" I forgot to ask about her weight and height. They are Fed-Exing her picture, medical information, etc. tomorrow. I will post her picture once we get off cloud 9.

The wait is over and I can't wait to get our Mia in August. I am now going to get some info on her hometown. I understand that the meaning of Chongqing means 'constant celebrations' and if you know the Harrell's, there are always celebrations going on in our house!!

Thank you for the calls and the emails, I can't wait for you to meet our little girl.

Our Olivia is from Chongqing. We loved our stay there. "They" say CQ babies are the cutest babies in China. I would have to agree :)

Congratulations

I did a quick google search and I might have found an image of the orphanage. It looks very clean and bright.

I know this is a crazy and wonderful time for you but I just have to ask...what kind of high chair is that? Is it peg pergo? I can't find anything like it on line and it's the cutest one I've seen. Thank You!
