We Welcome with Love Our Daughter...Lily Katherine Yin Parrott
Chinese Name: Jia Yin
Date of Birth: June 24, 2006
Location: Hubei Province
Jia Yu County Social Welfare Institute - foster care program
Measurements as of February 7, 2007:
Weight - 19.8 pounds
Length - 26.77 inches
Lily's documents say that she is a healthy, happy baby! Other characteristics listed state that she is quiet, fond of listening to music, enjoys playing with toys, is sometimes impatient, and loves to be held. At 19.8 pounds Mommy and Daddy better get busy lifting weights!
I am at a loss to find the words to describe the joy Tony and I are feeling right now. It is so amazing to be able to see the face of the child we have loved for so long.
We are incredibly blessed!

How can I explain it, I looked at her picture and there she was! The one we have been waiting for and loving for so long. I recognized her immediately - our own Lily Katherine. I am so amazingly proud and excited. You will be such wonderful parents and such a beautiful family. I LOVE YOU ALL!
T and Tony, congratulations. You've waited a long time for her, and she's beautiful. I wish you all the best - when are you going to get her?? Do you go to China, or do they bring her to you? Well, whichever way it goes, I hope you have her to hold SOON!
Love, Pam (Paris) Foley

Lily is a beautiful and lucky little girl. She has two wonderful parents and a lifetime of love and joy ahead of her. We keep staring at her picture and talking about her.
Love from all of us!
Wetbird,
She is so adorable. I cannot stop loooking at her cute little lips.
Now I totally get the "wetbird" name. Are you buying things now?

Hi, my name is Judy and I wanted to say congradulations!!! My husband and I just had a meeting with a international adoption agency yesterday and now we are confronted with choosing a country, How Do You Choose???? We are currently stuck on China, Philipines, and Russia. I so excited I want to start the process now because the longer we wait the longer it takes to have our little one. Any advice you would be willing to give us would be great. My email is jsalacuse@charter.net
TJ-
She is just absolutely precious! I am so happy for you. What a wonderful, joyful, moment that must have been to see your daughter!
