Late last night we received a new (and sad)picture of our daughter Aimee (on the right in the white and green). She is shown with a mom who is in China right now adopting Aimee's best friend Maggie. This picture was taken after the two girls had just cried and cried about their separation. This sweet family lives in Idaho and they received their daughter last week. Sunday, they visited the girls orphanage in order to say final goodbyes. The wonderful news is that this family reports that the orphanage nannies are very loving and the girls were both fond of them. They also said orphanage was new and very clean. Those are always good things to hear as waiting parents! The family has taken many more pictures of Aimee and also some video which they will send after they return to the states. Early this morning we were sending emails back and forth discussing future plans for our girls to stay in touch. We are going to try to send a letter this week to Aimee to let her know she will see her friend again.
We will post again soon as we have more information..

She looks so forlorn! What a difficult thing to see! I am praying that even though she is small, she will have faith in what she cannot yet see - that there is a beautiful and loving family waiting for her just around the bend.
Just think, too, of the lifelong friends that she will soon have with her siblings! It's great that you will be able to keep in touch with Maggie and her family. I'm glad you were able to get an update, although it always tears at your heart to see them afraid or upset and you can't be there to comfort them. But soon, she will have her forever family!!
