This is JiaYi. We finally got approval to adopt her and hope
to travel to China in February and bring her home.
She was born June 17, 2004 with spina bifida.
Complications of surgery left her paraplegic, but
she has since regained some function in her right leg.
We are excited to have her in our family soon.
We plan on naming her Sophie Claire JiaYi.
She knows we are coming.
Keep in touch.
