Love at First Sight

Noelle Christina Yuan Farrar


She is beautiful and oh so precious.  We think she looks so much like Emma - the eyes and her ears.  :D

Noelle is 16 months of age and will be 20 months when we go to get her.  She only weighs 16 pounds so she is so tiny - just like Emma!  The information sent with her says she is quiet and shy.  She was born in Henan Provice which is central China.  She was born premature and when they found her she was only 4.5 pounds!!  Oh and she is 27.17 inches tall. 

Wayne got all choked up and teary upon seeing her for the first time just as he did with Emma.  Me, too.  It is surreal - just seems like we got our first photo of Emma and here we are with another little one.  We are SO blessed.

    Tears for you here too! How is it that she really looks so much like Emma? Just meant to be all along I guess.
    Now let's hope that those 4 months pass quickly!

    Congrats. She sounds like our daughter at referral time. She is still a peanut, 5.5 years and only weighs 27 pounds and is about 40 inches tall.
    Looking forward to following along on your journey.

    I found your blog link on RQ. Congratulations! Our son is from Henan, also, in the Xuchang City SWI. There is a Henan Children Yahoo Group if you want to join it and probably a group for the orphanage, too. We expect to travel in February.

    Your daughter is the same age now (and size--weight and height) as our daughter was when we brought her home!

    Lisa in Ohio - here I thought we had a very unique name picked out for Yuan. ;D It is a beautiful name and we decided since she was born in our hearts right before Christmas it fit perfectly - AND we love the name. I always say you have to pick a name you love and one which you won't mind saying over and over many times a day and as the years pass. We are going to nickname her Elly or Elle - I'm sure you do the same.

    And thanks everyone for the well wishes! Truly only people who have adopted or are in the process know how wonderful and breathtaking the experience is!
