Our agency told me updates were possible, but they didn't have any control over them. It was up to her orphanage in China. And while I did receive an update showing she had gained a 1/2 pound in the last few months and lost 1 cm of height, I wanted pictures. The weight and height information was nice, but not enough.
Yesterday I received a gift. A PRICELESS GIFT!!! Through a yahoo group I made a connection with two other mommas whose children live in the same foster home as Suhn. And I found out, the foster home HAS A BLOG!
A BLOG ON WHICH I FOUND OVER 50 PICTURES OF MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL!
A BLOG ON WHICH I FOUND OVER 50 PICTURES OF MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL!
Pictures of her at a Christmas party, at the zoo, being loved on by her therapist (a person who shows up in many of the pictures who I would LOVE to meet!).
I spent hours going through all 61 pages of blog saving every picture I could find. I found the post sharing that she had a family who would be coming for her in 3-6 months. I found posts commenting on her beautiful eyes. I found posts proving that she is loved and will be missed when she leaves. I discovered new details about her history and the progress she was made with her disability.
Of course I have to share a few, to show off my little girl, my precious gift!
Happy Mother's Day Everyone!
