Abby's Update - 7/11/08

Here is a brand new picture of our precious Abby! We think her smile says it all....she is a beautiful, sweet and content baby. We contacted Ladybugs'nLove to try to get an update and received so much more info than we ever dreamed!

Abby is very bonded with her foster mother, who describes her as being "very cute and smart...she is a lovely girl!"

The Gansu Province does not normally allow photos of the baby to be taken for an update, but in this case the director herself took the photos for us! Thank you, God, for favor.

Here is Abby's Paw-Paw Freddy and Michael working on her new bedroom.

Abby is her Paw-Paw Freddy's namesake!

We gave her the middle name Rae after his middle name Raymond. Abby is going to love you to pieces, Paw-Paw!

Abby's Referral Pictures

Look at her big, beautiful eyes! She is definitely a very sweet and content baby. We couldn't have possibly asked for more! You have our hearts, Abby!

Our China Adoption Journey to Abby

Hello, Family and Friends!

This is Michael & Jawanna O'Quin...

We want to share our China adoption journey to make Abigail Rae O'Quin a part of our family. Our adoption process began in January 2006, and on June 2, 2008, we received a referral for a beautiful baby girl from WuWei in the Gansu Province. We expect to travel sometime in August, possibly during the Beijing Olympics.

We have waited over 17 years for this moment and it has finally arrived!We can't wait to hold you in our arms, Abby! We're coming to get you!
