We are thrilled to announce the new addition to our family. Our daughter:
Nan Yun Mei - Piper Mei Rigney DOB: 02/12/2008 Guangdong Providence
Cooper's 5th Birthday
We adopted our son Cooper from Russia over 4 years ago. We can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. We are now on a journey to adopt our daughter from China. We started the process about three years ago and on some days it feels like my heart has been torn in two. We know that a perfect little soul is waiting to be joined with our family. So as they say patience is a virtue. Cooper just turned 5 and is anxiously awaiting his baby sister. He said he is going to help her and teach her all about the world, but will not change diapers. Thank you for joining us on our journey!

We are so happy for the Rigney family- I have my travel plans booked starting the New Year off just right as I get to visit little Piper in Jan. 2009.
