These were the first pictures that we saw of our little girl, Min Nian Ci, born January 10, 2011 in the Anhui province of China. These pics are frame shots that we got from a 60 second video. The first time I watched as she flashed that sweet smile, my heart melted and I couldn't help but say, "hi sweet girl". Little did I know that this sweet girl was going to be a Flottmeyer! We started the adoption process in late May and got final approval to move forward with the adoption in mid-August. I committed that on the first day that our other 3 kiddos were back in school that I would pursue with all my heart and time to bring an orphan into our family. It was on that day, September 2, that I saw Maryelle for the first time! After a couple of months of seeking the Lord, (and watching the video 101 times!), God made it very clear that Nian Ci was to be part of our family. At Thanksgiving, we were matched and the arduous process to get her home ensued.
Now we're in the final step- planning our trip to China to finally get that girl in our arms!
