Photos from Guangzhou

Since Lanhua made contact with her foster family last week, there's been excitement on both sides of the globe. Lan spent the week preparing a big package with special gifts she's picked-out for her family in Guangzhou. She seems to be adjusting to this renewed connection quite well and is genuinely happy about writing to them and sending presents. She talks about her foster family more often now and despite her limited English, she's been very effective in describing her family and life in Guangzhou to us.

In the meantime, we received these photos from Lanhua's foster brother via email. It's been a milestone month!

The photos include Lanhua's foster mother, as well as her older foster brother and his wife. We're not sure who the other little girl is in the pictures. We think she may be a second child this family was caring for. (More to follow as the mystery unfolds.)
