Referral!!
Hi Everyone --
We are happy to announce that, on Thursday, September 1, we received the referral for our daughter!! Here are the details:
Name: Qian Yu Yan (soon to be Hannah YuYan Scaffido)
Birthdate: January 3, 2005
Location: Qianjiang Social Welfare Institute - Chongqing, China (Sichuan Province)
She is in good health, and is reported to be a deep sleeper, enjoys tearing paper, laughs aloud, has an active personality, and is fond of listening to music. Her 13 page referral is currently being translated by our adoption agency, and includes more detailed medical information, along with her history, daily routine, and other information.
Here are her referral pictures.
If anyone is interested in learning more about the orphanage she is in, another adoptive parent who has been there put together this website: http://www.qianjiangorphanage.com/index.htm
Big brother Alex, who started Kindergarten on Wednesday, is excited
to have a little sister, and can't wait to go out and buy her more
toys. We are also busy putting the final touches in the "Disney
Princess" room.
Darese and I will probably travel to China in late October/early
November for about 2 weeks to pick up Hannah, and complete the
adoption process. While we're in China, my parents will stay with
Alex at our house so that he doesn't miss school. We will keep you
posted about our travel plans.
Best Wishes!!
Joe, Darese, & Alex

Dear Joe & Darese:
Your new daughter is beautiful and we wish you the very best for all of you. My husband and I are discussing adoption if we are unable to have children of our own (going through IVF right now). You are truly blessed.
Take care;
Suzan & Spencer Slayton
(cinnamon's sister).
