About Sienna

What an amazing present for Steve’s birthday! We got the wonderful news at 2:30pm on April 30th 2007, that we had indeed been matched with a little girl. Stefani Ellison sent the good news via e-mail. “Your referral is on its way from China today” those were the most beautiful words, we had been waiting for 18+ very long months to finally see a picture of this little angel. Here is what we know so far: Chinese Name: Xiao Liang Feng Born: July 15th, 2006 Location: Jiangxi Province, China Our little Sienna is in the Fencheng Social Welfare Institute of the Peoples Republic of China. Her orphanage is about 50kms south of Nanchang. Her file says she was one day old when she was placed in the orphanage. Xiao means small bird. Liang means good, excellent. I hope this means she will sing like a small bird, with an excellent voice. Like father like daughter! Feng, her last name represents the orphanage in which she resides right now. She was born in the year of the dog. We are still hoping this won’t mean she will chase the cat! People born in the year of the dog are said to be very loyal, care givers. Honest and deeply compassionate. I guess that someone upstairs must have had a hand in this, for I have always believed she was sent to us, to help us, not the other way around. She is a very happy little girl. She eats well. We understand that she drinks formula; she eats rice cereal, drinks milk 5 times a day, each time. Her supplemental foods are rice soup, steamed egg, biscuits and soup. She eats 5 times a day. Has a good appetite, I would say! She gets up at 6am. (ouch!), takes a 1 hr. nap and goes to bed at 9:00 sounds like she has mama’s energy! She is described as a moderate sleeper? She sleeps with her fingers in her mouth. She is described as being active, and quick in reaction. She can transfer a toy from one hand to another. Her favorite activity is playing with her friends. Her favorite toys are bold red plastic toys. She was 6 months old in these pictures, at that time she weighed 7(kg)=15.4 lbs. Her height was 65(cm)=25.5in. She rolls over, holds her head up, knows her name, laughs aloud, holds a ready smile, uses her pinchers to pick up beans, and turns her head in the direction of sound. She loves listening to music and reading picture books. She is closest to her caregiver. She is the daughter we have prayed for. We are faithful in the Lord’s ability to protect her until she can be in our arms forever. “The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart” ~ Helen Keller On Cloud 9….. Stephen and Kassandra
