To China with Love


Last week we sent a care package to Qiao Yang. She should receive it next week sometime. Riley and I had a blast picking out the items. My favorite is the telephone. Her paperwork said her favorite toy is a telephone. On this one, you can record a little message. So if she pushes the right button, she will hear Riley and me saying , "Nihao, Yang Yang." Hopefully it doesn't frighten her too much:)

In other news, I heard from Brian Stuy at Research China. He was able to locate Qiao Yang's finding ad. The finding ad is a photo of the baby published in the China-local newspaper. It is the attempt to locate the birthparents. Most importantly, the photo is several months earlier that the referral photos we currently have. This ad is likely the earliest documentation we will ever have of our daughter. I cannot wait for it to arrive. When we were in China last time, they gave us a copy of the finding ad, but it was just a description. There was no photo. So I know this will be very precious to us.

Isn't the care package fun to put together? I love your phone. Great idea!
The finding ads are really cool...I was very glad we ordered ours. It means a lot to have that earliest picture.
