And she you. ...You are so blessed to have Jia-Li! And she you. <br /><br />We know lots of adoptive families. One couple we know adopted their children from Ethiopia. They were written up in a local mag and I gave the article to my 11 yr old to read. She suddenly stopped reading and asked, shocked, "They're adopted?" I had to point out the obvious, "Well, people usually give birth to kids about the same colour as themselves." She said, "Yeah, but their dad is dark!" He's a tanned European, and I thought it was so sweet that she had taken this family at 'face value'.DeLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855086449854653526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-42448488023474180362010-02-13T21:25:16.618-06:002010-02-13T21:25:16.618-06:00Please excuse my spelling and grammar.

My daughter Jia-Li (beautiful & Smart) in English, did not come to us until she was 3 years old, she had open heart surgery, a tethered cord and no hip bone. She was adandoned at 1 yr in a train station and lived with a very poor family. The pictures I have would break your heart.<br /><br />Because of Jia, I read everything Chinese I can get my hands on. A better book for an 11 year old "Grace From China" can't remember the author.<br /><br />It was nice to hear from you.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738732651488533752noreply@blogger.com
