About Ava Marie

"I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you." ~John 14:18

On April 15th, 2008 we received a call that would change our lives forever. We have been matched with a beautiful daughter and sister.

What we know about our daughter....
 
Chinese name
Nan Qi Ya

Birthdate
January 20th, 2007 (she shares a Birthday with my uncle and Godfather)

She resides in
Guongdong Province, Maoming City and is currently in a Orphanage.

She has repaired heart condition. (ToF)

On April 17 2007 Hexi police station of Maonan branch of public security bureau of Maoming City received a report from common people: a female baby was found to be abandoned at the gate of Maoming Daily Newspaper Printing Press on Hongqizhong road in Maoming City. After search the baby’s birth parents can not be found. On the same day she was sent to this Welfare Institute to be raised upon agreement of civil affairs bureau of Maonan District of Maoming City. On admission the baby wore a white baby suit with green patterns, wrapped with a red towel. They call her "YaYa".

We received an update May 21, 2008: "She can walk and run steadily. She enjoys playing games with other children. Sometimes she tries to grab others' toys when she's playing with other children. She's pretty good at imitating. Seeing other kids cry, she will wipe their tears using a towel, just like the care takers do. She understands simple commands given by adults and is willing to give when asked. She can utter "Papa" and "Mama". She's smart and full of energy."
