Her name will be Jaime

Well, we've decided ... Yang Fu Die will join our family as Jaime ! It's pronounced like "Jamie", but spelled like French for "I Love" (j'aime). We're going to keep Fu Die as her middle name, but Canadianize by making it into one name (something like Fudie, we'll work on the actual spelling of that once we figure out how it's supposed to be pronounced). Apparently, from her file, the staff at the orphanage gave her the name (which means Fu = Lucky, Die = Butterfly) because they wanted her to be "as beautiful as a butterfly, and have a happy life." We echo their blessing on her !
