Birthday Party in Guangzhou!

We feel so fortunate to have found our friend, Ann, in Guangzhou. She sent the birthday care package to the orphanage for Madelyn on our behalf. I had been sent a photo of the contents of the package and was told it would be delivered in time for the celebration yesterday.


Well, this morning we unexpectedly received pictures of the birthday party just yesterday.... cake, playmates, nannies and all! The cake is just beautiful (wish I could have had a piece) and look at that precious one year old birthday girl. She is smiling for us! I must say, she is pretty cute, don't you think? We are so grateful we will have these memories forever. We also look forward to having our own birthday party with some of our new friends when we get to Guangzhou. Only six more days......but who's counting???

Love and hugs,
~L

I was so touched to read about the birthday parties -- both at home here and in China. It's so apparent that she is a beloved child in both places, and won't it be a blessing when she's old enough to read and can pour through these records of the thoughts and feelings of her family and friend as they anticipate her arrival. What an extra extra special gift to her. And what a lovely gift to all of us to be a part of this.

Brightest blessings!

Happy Birthday to your dear daughter!
We celebrated AA's 2nd birthday and bought a cake similar (09/20/08).
We are excited for your trip and to see Forever Family Day!
