Mailia isn't even my child, but just reading excerpts from the letter sent me into an emotional state. <BR/><BR/>They took good care of Mailia! I'm just sorry they were never able to say goodbye to her. *properly* Wow. My Becca went through something like what Mailia did. But she was younger. She does remember her AYI though. Interesting enough.<BR/><BR/>I think it's wonderful you keep in touch. I hope you NEVER lose touch with them. What a true gift for Mailia.<BR/><BR/>KristenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733926810087899531.post-25178562041874500442008-10-10T16:29:00.000-04:002008-10-10T16:29:00.000-04:00I got very choked up reading that.

How wonderful to learn little by little all about what transpired before your Gotcha Day. What a fantastic journal that she will always have. <BR/><BR/>Can't you imagine now rocking your grandchildren and telling them stories about when their mommy was little? <BR/><BR/>I bet they can't wait to get another letter from you, much the same as you can't wait to hear from them again. I hope you are always able to keep in touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733926810087899531.post-67749753823417928222008-10-09T08:33:00.000-04:002008-10-09T08:33:00.000-04:00Shirley, what a great gift you have given Po-Po &a...Shirley, what a great gift you have given Po-Po & Ye-Ye, as well as Mailia, in keeping touch with them. I am so glad you were able to find them.<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine how difficult that would have been.<BR/><BR/>My daughter was in fostercare the whole time at Fuzhou, but I have not found her fosterparents. She was adopted at 10 months, so has no memory of that time. I know they were rice farmers as well & Lindsi has the leg scars of being carried in a buckboard (I imagine on the back of her rice harvesting foster mom).<BR/><BR/>DebbyDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555423737900445968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733926810087899531.post-76926073618130902262008-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:002008-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:00You can see the reflection of the years of love th...You can see the reflection of the years of love that they gave to Mailia. She is so loving and giving herself. Then with the continued love from you two, Mailia will do great in anything she tries, as long as she does it at a fast pace LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
