Journey to Lia

What we have been told....

Here is what we have been told about our little Lia.

She was born June 16, 2006.

On May 4th, her height was 95cm and her weight 30lbs (with clothes and shoes on). She is about 10th percentile for height and weight. This may make it a bit easier if we end up carrying her around.

She lives in Jiande Social Welfare Institute, Zhejiang Province. She had surgey when she was a very young which was successful. With strangers at the beginning she is a little shy, but with the people she knows she can have conversations and talks well. She likes to play with other children, and wants to be with the nanny/ nannies. On her file from Dec 2008, it mentioned she likes sweets!!

In April we sent her a care package through a company in China called Red Thread China. We sent a photo album with pictures of us and her new home, a small blanket, candies for her friends and nannies and a letter. We hope the SWI will spend some time looking through the photos with her but we will not know for sure until we meet her. We had planned on sending more care packages but luckily we will get to deliver the next one ourselves!!

  2. Hi to you precious Dallaways. As I write this you are in your way, and am sure you are having a good flight. You are all(all now means Lia also!) in our hearts. We are living every minute with you! Love the picture of Pickle Juice. Hugs and bunches of kisses. Mom and Herb.
