Subject: !!! ¤¤%%#### = REFERRAL !!!!!! = ####%%¤¤ !!!

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! OUR REFERRAL HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the day would never come! Our DTC (log-in) is March 15 - so it's actually been less than 13 months, guess I can't complain!

Due to the procedure here in Denmark we won't get the package with photos etc. until late next week at the earliest (pediatricians here take that long to go through the papers and approve them - but the agency said everything looked fine...) but here is what we know:

Name: Qi Mei

Soon to be: Sally Mei

DOB: 10 January 2001 (15 months old)

Province/orphanage: Qidong Social Welfare Institute in Hunan She was brought to the orphanage on 19 January, weighed just 2,8 kgs, 50 cms height. Latest weight (don't know the date) is 10 kgs (surely that must be with clothes on!!)

My agency doesn't think we'll travel much earlier than end of June. As agonizing that wait will be, I'm just so absolutely delighted that we've received our referral. We knew that five referrals were coming this week but not if we were included. I'm sooooo relieved and happy! Haven't quite grasped it yet.

Molly has a little sister!!! Yeah!!!
