In July 2013 we got a referral for a beautiful little girl from Dongguan. She is almost 17 months old. Her name is Gabriella Wenyuan Sara Beattie. Wenyuan is her Chinese name and we felt it was important to have this as her middle name since her Chinese culture will always be central to her. Her two English names surround her Chinese name to reflect how she will be protected and natured. Gabriella means "God is my strength". Wenyuan means "language and literature" and "a woman of beauty".
We have received our travel approval and have the flights booked. We fly to Hong Kong on Friday 30 August and then make our way to Guangzhou on Sunday 1 September 2013. 'Gotcha' day will be Monday 2 September 2013.
These are the photos we received with the referral. Gabriella is about 12 months old in these pictures
These are updated photographs of Gabriella. She is around 16 months old in these pictures.
