New pictures and updated info
- Posted by Michael on January 7th, 2009 filed in Waiting to Travel
We sent Mikayala a care package using Ann with Red Thread China. She is on Shaiman Island in Guangzhou, China and sends the care packages directly to the orphange from within China, so you don’t have to worry about customs, duties, or someone from the orphanage picking up the package. She will verify your child gets the package too, but also when she contacts the orphanage before sending the package she very often can get updated pictures and sizes. She can often ask and get answers to a few questions for you too. It took her a couple days to get info from our orphanage but she did!
Here are the new pictures. I think she has the cutest lips, I can imagine that they are going to melt us when she starts pouting.
We now know:
Height: 30.7″ (78 cm)- This is about an inch taller then our referral paperwork
Weight: 25.3 lbs (11.5kg)- this is almost 5lbs more then our referral paperwork
Head: 18.9″ (48 cm)
Chest: 18.9″ (48 cm)
Feet: 4.7″ (12 cm)
Looks like she is already growing- hope she slows down and waits for us

Mikayla is so adorable! I can just imagine our girls playing together! How fun!
The care package for Mikayla is really neat. She will look so sweet in her pink pajamas, snuggling her blankie and doll and looking at you both in her photo album!!
Your friend,

Ok Michael, the pressure is on.. now that your referral is here your posting must increase! You will need to get in shape for all the posting you will be doing IN China.. remember there are many depending on your narration. Every detail. It gets easier the more you do it. Your typing skills improve, your finger flexibility, your eye hand coordination etc.. there are indeed many benefits BUT most importantly you will keep the natives at home from getting restless and their wrath upon your return if you don’t!
