Is that my chubby girl crying??
It sure does look like her! Complete with scratched right cheek. This is from the blog of another family who is in China now. They visited the orphanage and posted some random pics. I think it is her!Thursday, December 2, 2010
She's Perfect!
We were SO excited to wake up to 15 new pictures of Grace!! She is SO cute! She looks very healthy and happy in all her pictures.

Pictures coming soon!
Another email from another mom:
"Hi all!
We went to the orphanage today, and I got pictures for everyone. Everyone's children are precious and I will send the pictures as soon as I can. I can't upload anything tonight, not even pics for our own blog...internet PAINFULLY slow and it keeps stopping before they're uploaded.
Just wanted to let you know to expect them :)"

Happy, happy update!!
We sent a care-package for Grace to be shared with her friends at her SWI (social welfare institute) via a family going to get their little boy at Grace's orphanage. This morning we had the following email in our inbox! We should be getting pictures from her and another mom soon. I am overwhelmed. Thank you Lord!
"Hello fellow mamas!
We visited the orphanage today and got to deliver your care packages!I had my husband snap as many pictures and some quick videos for each child. Unfortunately, this morning I was replacing the 'blank' memorycard into my laptop (its a place holder to keep the slot from gettingdusty) and it somehow slid in incorrectly and now will not come out.So I can't read files off a memory card tonight, and I didn't bring my cord to download directly from the camera. I am SO sorry... we will head out to the store tomorrow to find a memory card reader sohopefully, I'll be able to send them off to you tomorrow. I know thatDonna was able to get shots of every child she had on her list, so I'm sure she'll be sending them along.All of your children look healthy and well loved. The orphanage doesn't seem to have a lot of means... BUT, the children look very well cared for... and my son and Donna's son have been doing amazingly this week. We feel like they were both well prepared andseemed familiar with our pictures and what was happening. I'm convinced that its Half The Sky's influence which is allowing this orphanage to do so much with the little they have... you should be reassured that your children will be well taken care of until you can come and get them. My older daughter came from a SWI which had a lotof means, the place was immaculate and looked wonderful. But many ofthe children coming out of there showed signs of neglect and malnourishment. These children fare so much better, do to the quality care they are receiving. I told each on of your children that their family loves them and will be coming soon. I will send pictures/videos as soon as I can."
One thing you can pray for, the orphanage does not have heat and it is very cold there.
