The Mazzola's China Adoption: Home Sweet Home

The Growth Report of Jillian Mengjing Xi

The Early Days

Xi Mengjing, a female baby, was found by a comrade named Jia Zhaohuai in the Huangtanggang Villager’s Team Committee of Guannan Village, Yanqiao Town, Dingyuan County on 04-20-2006. With the approval from the Civil Administration Bureau of Dingyuan County, she was admitted into our institute on 04-20-2006. Her living expenses have been supplied by the Civil Administration Bureau of Dingyuan County. When she was found, her umbilical cord exuded blood. After examining her, doctors determined that she was a newborn baby. Therefore, we regarded her date of birth as the day when she was found: 04-20-2006. When she arrived, her height was 50cm, weight was 2.5kg, head circumference was 32.5cm, and chest circumference was 33cm. She was in good health. When she was first found, she had a round face, black hair, single-edged eyelids, and a rosy complexion.

Home Sweet Home

What an incredable experience that has just taken place!! We are now back from our chinese adoption with our wonderful little Jillian Jing Mazzola! The trip back was excellent!! Jillian did great!! It turned out that it was the Inaugural flight on united from Beijing China to Washington DC. There was a big celebration as we were getting on the plane. Jillian was the FIRST person on the plane!!! We received a gift from the United Airline CEO!! When she landed in Washington she became an offical US citizen!! You will also see from the pictures that I am not only a trained camel jockey, I am also trained to fly 747's now!!! Kerrin and I are were so excited to be met by our family and friends when we arrived in Manchester NH! It was a special moment to see Gina and Jillian finally in each other's arms!! It was incredable!!

The LONG journey is now complete as we start our new life together as a family!!
