Introducing William Wyatt QiQi Cecil

As I start this blog out, it dawned on me that I had better introduce you to our newest addition. I would say last addition, but every time we utter the words "Our family is the perfect size," along comes another child. Will will be our fifth child. We have 3 biological kids - two sons Jacob age 12, Aaron age 10, and a daughter, Robbi age 8. We are also blessed to add another daughter Hope age, 3, through the miracle of adoption. She will give Will a run for his money, since what Hopes wants, Hope gets because of her three doting siblings.

William Wyatt QiQi Cecil was born on July 8, 2004. He currently lives at XuWen County Integrated Social Welfare Institute in Guangdong Province. He lives in the southern region of China along the coast. He is described as being very curious, energetic, fond of others and likes outdoors. We also learned that he had a special need. He was missing his left forearm, probably due to amniotic banding.

I just knew when I saw his picture, I had hearts in my eyes. I knew he was meant to be our son. He is beautiful.

We picked his name like we did all the rest. William is a family name. It is the name of his great grandfather on his daddy's side. Wyatt, because Jim just likes it, and QiQi because that is his name given to him in China. If we can find out the name his nannies' call him, we will change QiQi to that. We will have to wait until Jim and Jacob get to China to find that out. Until then, he is William Wyatt QiQi Cecil. Quite a mouthful!

We are just ready to get him.

We're adopting a two year old boy from the Guangdong Province. We're hoping to go to China in May or June to receive him! I can't wait to follow your family's journey to China.
