We have officially named our son. His new name will be: Paul Liu Ri CHen Miller. We will still call him Ri, which is pronounced "Ree". That isn't the way it has been pronounced in Chinese, but we can't seem to master that sound. We are so use to calling him Ri that we really can't imagine changing it. We were told in the beginning that it was pronounced "Ree", but a very good friend of Mark's shared with us that it is not.
We all want Ri to have an American name. We feel it is important for him. As a family, we have chosen Paul as his first name. It was not chosen the way that Elizabeth was chosen (a family vote). This time, we felt very lead to name him after his Uncle. Uncle Paul is very precious to us. He loves the kids as if they were his own. He is a man who loves the Lord with all of his heart. We wanted to honor Paul by naming our son after him.
The new pictures are a true gift! A family just adopted their daughter from the same orphanage. They were allowed to visit and were shown the toddler room. The nannies were so loving towards all the children and genuinely cared for them. They pointed out Ri and shared with the family that they had hopes that he would be adopted soon. Yeah!!! They took some pictures and sent them to me. I am truly grateful!
