Thank you, CHI, for helping us
find our daughter and bring her home!

We began our adoption journey on 19 September, 2005 when we submitted our application with CHI. Just under a year later we saw one of the most amazing children on CHI's Waiting Children list. On 21 July we asked to adopt Zhao Sheng Mei. Just a week later we submitted our LOI. We were blessed on 21 September with Travel Arrangements and were off to China on Halloween. Matt, my parents, and I met our daughter for the first time on 6 November. We arrived home in Atchison, Kansas, after a brief layover in California, on 19 November. Chynna Mei Louise Stanley is adjusting well to her new life. She is extremely smart and very happy. She is attaching to her big brother, Matthew, who is only 6 1/2 months older and attached very well to me, Matt, and my parents (in that order) while we were still in China. Chynna is picking up sign language quite well and is finally understanding that she has a new way of communicating with others. It has been happening so quickly that I am amazed by her progress every day! Thank you, CHI, for helping us find our daughter and bring her home!

With great joy,

Matthew, Manette, Honu & Chynna Mei Louise
