Thanks for all of the replies.

As far as her name goes, Lut, we have selected her American name (Mary Joyce), which is for her 2 grandmothers. We also know that she will have a second middle name. We may use the name that she has been given in China, depending on the meaning and how easily it will be pronounced in America, or we may use Lian, which is a name of Chinese origin meaning "lotus flower." Of course, I think it would be really neat if Lian were already a part of her Chinese name.

Thanks for the comments on Leah, too. Her parents are dear friends of ours.

Bump. (I don't usually bump threads up, but I just want to share our excitement. )
