Here is our beautiful daughter! We have named her Kathryn after my very beloved and missed maternal Grandmother.
Her current Chinese is name is Cao Ying Zi. Cao is her last name and is likely the finding city. Ying may have been given to all the girls for that year in that Welfare Institute. Zi was given to her by the caregivers there.
The characters for her name are being translated for us and when we have more information we will decide what parts of her name to keep as her middle name. For now we only know that she will be Kathryn first.
We had a great meeting with our agency today. We will travel with three other families from our agency, two from southern California, and one other from the Bay Area. We will learn more about our trip at our travel meeting on January 17th, but it seems reasonable that we will travel after Chinese New Year which is on February 7th. A trip from about February 15th to March 1st is likely, with Jeff returning about halfway through.
We will continue to update this blog both before and during our trip to document our journey to bring Kathryn home.
Please feel free to check in anytime!
