Our daughter Hannah

This is Hannah

She is 6yrs old. She was born in Fuling, China. She became part of our forever family when she was 8 months old. Her middle name is Jayne, which is named after her "Big Busia" (polish for grandma). She is anxiously awaiting her sister, Emily, who was born and residing in Zhaoqing City, China. Hannah is in first grade at Olive Elementary, which is in New Carlisle. When asked what she wanted to do in her adult life, she originally wanted to be a mermaid-until she realized the lake was too dirty to live in and she could not talk all of her family and friends into moving to the ocean. She then wanted to be a cheerleader-until she asked how much money they make. Now, after careful consideration, she has hopes and dreams to become a veterinarian. She does love animals and bugs so this may be an actual option for her. Only time will tell. She loves staying at home and being what she calls a "homebody". She enjoys playing the Nintendo DS and the WII. She is very competitive and hates to lose, but after a few slamming of her bedroom door episodes and asking why we did not "let" her win, she is learning that losing is also part of the game. She also enjoys watching television. Cartoons, Drake & Josh, and Wizards of Waverly Place are a few of her favorites. She also enjoys a good Disney movie. She often will ask to help out in the kitchen as she likes helping to cook and bake pretty much anything. She is involved in gymnastics and has hopes to join the gymnastics team at Gymnastics Michiana soon. She takes swimming/diving lessons in the summer and seems to enjoy this as well. In the winter, Hannah is crazy about snow and will even offer to shovel the driveway just to "play" in the cold white stuff. She has 6 very special friends that she calls her "China Sisters (Aubrianna, Lilly, Mary Catherine, Violet, Cassidy, and Meridith), who returned to the United States with their forever families when Hannah did. They are all from Fuling, China and were playmates while there. They see each other throughout the year and seem to have an unbreakable bond to this day.
