We are very excited to announce that we have received our provisional approval from China for the adoption of our daughter. This means that China has reviewed our file and said that it looks ok and they will be doing a thorough review of it in the next weeks and months. Our final approval will be coming in the coming months. The waiting time for the final approval varies greatly. Sometimes it will take about 45 days but the wait could be over 100 days. Please continue to pray that our file is processed quickly.
So, we can now tell you a little bit more about our daughter. Her Chinese name is Zhao Jia Ni. Chinese names have the last name first. We have chosen the name Brooklyn Jiani for her English name. We plan on calling her Brooke. She is six years old and is living in a foster care home.
Oh! Your daughter is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!!!

Congrats! Another Shanghai beauty! :) Our Claire Wen (Zhao He Wen) is from Shanghai. Your daughter and Claire have the same last name...so they both entered the orphanged in the same year. Claire is 6 and will be 7 in Nov. She came home last June. Claire was in the orphange from the age of 1-3 and in foster care from 3-5. Our daughters could have played together at sometime. :) I saw a familiar looking scar on Brooklyn's chest. If you don't mind me asking, did she have a CHD? That was Claire's special need. It was repaired in China at age 1 and now she has a clean bill of health! Blessings to you and your family. I look forward to following you blog. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Congratulations!!! Your daughter is beautiful. I am feeling the tug to adopt an older girly, working on my husband now.
ReplyDeleteShe is just beautiful. Our family is waiting for our daughter, and pictures of these beautiful children being matched encourage our hearts greatly! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blessing she is. Do you mind me asking how you were able to be matched so quick after sending your file. My husband and I have been waiting ages for our daughter and still no end in sight.
ReplyDeleteWe wish you all the best with your new daughter!
