Journey to Lia

Last post from China

We spent our last full day here in China at the zoo and more shopping. Seeing the pandas again was great. Lia loved the monkeys, Ami loved being with her new friend from another FOI family who are still here. We had a great dinner with our guide Fei.

This will be our last post from China. Its time to bring our general home. Soon she will meet her new army of loving family that she can boss around (and threaten to beat up!!). Brian and I both feel although she is turning 4 in just over a week she is much younger than her age. We will bring her home give her lots of time, patience and love and watch her grow. This has been a trip of ups and downs and have seen China in a new way. We are not saying goodbye to China but see you later. I am exhausted.

The picture of Lia in the pink dress was the day we met and the other 2 from the last couple of days. What tremendous change for our little girl. She will have many more firsts at home and there are so many things we want to show her. See you soon!!

  1. What a transformaion. Ping was 4 when we brought her home and she was very *tough* for the 1st 6 months, but now she has really *softened* and is a much more peaceful little girl!
