About our Daughter

Today we got our packet from our agency. It had all the more paperwork from China translated, as well as two more pictures of Dorisa. She is wearing the same outfit, so we know it was taken on the same day. The pictures and medical exam were done on approximately May 24th, which would have been when Dori was 5.5 months old. Her stats are below the pics.

Aren't these cute???
