Folks, we have a name change.....

Ryleigh's name has been changed....it was Ryleigh Gyll, now it's Ryleigh Gyll Baoxin. Her Chinese name is Xin Hong Bao....so we finally came up with something that we love for her third name, and also honoring her Chinese name.....we are so happy.

Also, our agency has recieved our approval to travel and hopefully by the end of the week we will have our appointment set up for the US Consulate in Guangzhou. Our agency is requesting the week of February 27th, so that means that we may be travelling on the 15th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pronunciation: BaoXin is pronounced Bow (as in bow wow) Shin so BowShin

Another update: The reason we added her Chinese name was because the translation originally didn't sound like something very nice or important, but after finding out her abandonment information and asking for further translation and explanation, it made a LOT of sense to use it. I think I've posted that we aren't going to talk about the abandonment on our blog, so I'm not going to go into further detail about it.....(and xin is for her city that she is in Xinyi)

It is so nice that you are honoring her Chinese heritage with her middle name and also giving her a great new first name. Best of luck on your trip to China!
