Time for a Homestudy Update

I have met so many nice people, Suzanne Mabee, sent me this cute little photo of Xiao Cao taken at the orphange by a very nice visitor...she also suggested I join the Nanjing Yahoo group...of course!!!

Let the games begin...

We have received so much support from so many families who know of Xiao Cao and love him. He is so very blessed...we were fortunate enough to get some updated pictures of him too from Missy Brunner-Brown...what a great lady!

We are so grateful for those that send pictures! Thank you Missy!!!! We love you!

YES!!! We're in!

Get the hat out…can you make sure it’s a 16 gallon hat please?


YES!

Are you a Mom to 5 yet??

Hedda, Hedda, Hedda...what kind of question is that? lol! After 6 emails from Hedda, the only way to get her to clam up was to respond with...NO...I am really torn concerning this little guy and my children and I don't really know if we are ready. We are scared, we are broke and we need to just think. I love my friend Hedda...and she is such a wonderful support.

More nudging....

02/06/2007 - Cheryl is sure persistant...hehe! I just love her, she is straight to the point and not afraid to say it like it is. I think if it was anyone else I would question this leap I am about to take...without a net, I might add!!! She sent me a little video which is quite sad...poor fella!

God planted a seed

On 02/05/2007 was the day that Cao Xiao Cao started tugging at my heart...really strong! I knew he was there, I looked at his picture almost daily, but until Hedda mentioned him in a taxi on 01/05/2007, I never dreamed he would become a part of our family.
