The Name

Drum Roll Please.......

There is a 95% chance that Pei-Yi's American name will be "Ansley Pei-Yi Stricklin". We debated and agonized over what we wanted to name her. A name is a very important part of who you are and we wanted to get it right. Giving her an American name so that she will 'fit in' as she grows up in the United States was important but keeping her given name was equally important. We want her to be proud of her heritage and her name is a huge part of that heritage. Plus, we think that the name "Pei-Yi" is very pretty and we don't want her to forget it.

Other news: We are still waiting on the home study to be completed so that we can finalize all the paperwork and send it to Taiwan. We're hoping that will happen very soon. We are also still gathering material for the quilt. So if you have some to contribute, you still have time.
