...At least we think it will be a mei mei, although we did not specify, saying in our letter to the China Center for Adoption Affairs that we would welcome a boy, girl or twins into our family.
Any day now we expect to hear the news we have been awaiting for nearly 2 years, our referral: the name and face and birthplace of Mei Mei, her age, her size, her health, her developmental milestones, whether she has been living with a foster family or in an orphanage.
We can't wait to see her little face. Will she be an 8-month old? A 2-year-old?
Does she live in Kunming (my guess) or Jie Jie's province, Guangxi?
Will the new addition to our family be a singleton or a twin? There have been reports of triplets.
Or perhaps 4-year-old JieJie was right when she drew a picture of herself between her mom and dad and hung it on the wall. The next day a fourth stick figure appeared." Who is that?" we asked her. "Mei Mei," she said.
A day later two more figures appeared. One small and one tall. "Didi and Gugu,'' she said,"big brother and little brother. (As far as we know, China does not refer sibling groups who are not multiples, but anything can happen.)
