Homestudy Approval and a NAME!!

Yay!!!  One step closer to bringing our little guy home!!  Our homestudy is completed!

Next step, obtaining USCIS preapproval to bring Yu Xi Gang home as a US citizen.
We overnighted the documents today and hope for approval within 30-40 days. 

After MUCH discussion and input from everyone in the family....
we have decided to name our new son:
Benjamin Liam

We've always loved the name Benjamin and he just looks like a Ben to us!  
We've even ordered his monogrammed Christmas stocking so you know it's official! 

In China the surname is first -- so his last name is Yu. 

According to orphanage records, he was named "Yu" because all children entering the oprhanage that year were assigned the surname of "Yu".

He was named "Gang" because the orphanage has "the hope for him to be more and more strong in future life". 
Liam means strong

Following is a another photo we recently received that was included in his Chinese medical files. 

Seriously, could he be any cuter!?  Can't wait to love on those cheeks!!!
We love you whole world BenBen!!!
