We heard through the grapevine that if we sent a care package to our baby we would get updated information in return. There is a website where you can pick out a package to send, write a note to be translated for your child and enter in the name and orphanage where it should be sent. It was somewhat expensive (especially not truly knowing if anything would be sent), but we decided to give it a chance. And, how happy we are that we did! Updated measurements show her to be approximately in the 50% percentile for US baby girls -- which is pretty large for a Chinese girl, and very large for a Chinese girl in an orphanage. She will fit right in our family! But, the best part was the updated photo. We were kind of surprised to see her standing..I have been envisioning a little baby lump and not a big smiley mobile girl. But, either way, we are very excited to soon have her in our arms. A new little sister was #2 on Perrin's Hanukkah list (right behind Star Wars Lego The Battle of Ender set), and really all any of us have wanted for the longest time!

Would you be willing to send me that website? We are still waiting for our pre-approval from China, but after that our case worker said we could send a care package... Looks like our little ones are about the same age! Ours was born on (or near) January 2nd, 2009... She may have a bone disorder so we are desperate for more info on her health. If you ever want to get together once we bring her home, my email is theknittingmama@gmail.com. We live in Monroe.
