Up to this point.....

We have been in the process of this adoption for 4 years.  We have talked about a blog for awhile now, but neither of us really knows what we are doing.  Hopefully you will be able to read everything.
Our dossier was logged in at the China Center for Adoption Affairs on 3/27/06.  On October 26th of this year (2009), we received a referral for a beautiful 18 month old little girl.  Her Chinese name is  Fu Xiao Nuo, but her new name will be Elsie Xiao-Nuo Bowden.  She will our eighth child.  She will also have 3 neices aging from 7-14 years old!
