We are overjoyed to announce that our request to adopt our daughter has been officially approved! I don't think we could be more excited.
Name: Pan TianTian (soon to be Meg TianTian Laflin)
Date of Birth: December 15, 1998 (age 10)
Anticipated adoption date: Late February 2009
A brief summary of our Journey to Meg:
When we adopted Quincy last August, we were allowed to tour the orphanage where he had been raised. On our tour, a little girl followed us around. We were told that she was Quincy's playmate and good friend, and found out her name. After we got home, TianTian seemed to be a very important part of Quincy's memories of the orphanage. He talked about her and asked about her often. After being home only a month or so, we set out to try to adopt her. Due to the extraordinary skills of our agency and the help of many amazing people in China, we were able to get our dossier connected with her referral. And now after about 17 months, we are finally allowed to bring home our daughter!!!

Quincy is very excited about his sister, and can't wait to go to China to get her! We expect that the three of us will travel to China in late February.
Thank you to all of you have supported us on this adventure. We are so blessed to have friends and family that are so willing to welcome our amazing children into their hearts! We truly couldn't have done this without each and every one of you. Please continue to send your thoughts, prayers, good wishes and positive energy in our direction. We are just beginning what we are sure will be a challenging and amazing adventure.
