CEN LI TIAN
'Cen' refers to a mountain in the Heng Feng area. All of the children from the Heng Feng Social Welfare Institution (SWI) have this surname.
'Li' has many meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. It can mean 'bountiful' and 'beautiful' - I think these are both appropriate for our little girl !
'Tian' means 'heaven' - a more fitting name for our 'heaven-sent child' cannot be found.
'Maya' means 'a gift from God', 'a much wished for child', 'mother' and many other things depending on the language in which it is used. We thought it was a very sweet name for a little Chinese girl - and it goes with 'Falcao' !!
'Grace' - well that's my mom's name. Thanks mom !!!!
