Interesting facts

I learned today that the provinces that Myleigh and Jun are from share an interesting link. Myleigh is from the Hunan province and Jun is from the Hubei province. The name Hubei means "north of the lake, and Hunan means "south of the lake". The lake they refer to is East lake. Both girls were brought from the East "China" to the west "US". I found this very interesting. There is a good chance we will be staying at the East Lake hotel in Wuhan, Hubei, so, that would be a fun fact to add to this journey.

Another fun fact, both Myleigh and Jun's Chinese names mean "pretty".

Jun's referral was sent to us on Myleigh's birthday. We didn't open it until June 1st. We sent our paperwork for Myleigh's adoption, to China on June 12 of 2002. Myleigh was found on June 11 2002. Our referral was sent to us for Myleigh in June 2003. It arrived July 3rd, 2003.

The month prior to both girls referrals, there was a pandemic that affected the world, for Myleigh it was SARS, for Jun it was H1N1.
