Introducing…

Introducing…

Our adoption agency told us that  we would have to wait 3 to 6 months for a match.  After being logged in to China's adoption for about a month, we received an unexpected phone call.  It was about 6 PM on a Monday night.  Tony, from our adoption agency, was on the other end of the phone line.  Tony told me that our adoption agency had a match for us.  He mentioned that the match was a little boy that was 2 1/2 years old and that his birthday is May 1, 2011.  Tony went on to tell me that this little boy's name was Yang Shuai.  Shuai means handsome king.  Tony said that Yang Shuai was healthy and he has had his cleft lip repaired.  The orphanage shared all of  Shuai's medical records. He still needs to have his palette repaired. The orphanage workers cause him Shuai Shuai. 

Tony went on to tell me that Shuai lives in Xinyang, Henan.  Apparently, one of the orphanage directors saw little Shuai in a flower bed which was close to a train station in Xinyang. The orphanage director took little Shuai to the orphanage and he has been there since.  Tony asked me if I would like to see a picture of little Shuai. Excitedly, I said yes.  I remember thinking to myself how beautiful this little boy was.  The first thing I did was get on the phone and tell Joel about the awesome  news I just heard.

Once we were able to print off little Shuai's medical records, we sent a copy of the medical records and pictures To our pediatrician. The pediatrician looked over all of the documents and emailed us telling us that it was fine to move forward with the adoption.  That evening, we emailed our adoption agency and let them know that we were interested in being matched with little Shuai.

How awesome it is to know that one day we will be able to travel to China and pick up our little boy to bring home to his loving family.  We just couldn't wait to tell our family and friends of our good news. God is so good to us and we give him all the glory.  

We decided to change his name to Jayden Erik Shuai Mangas!!!!!
