Bringing Zoe Home

MORE PICTURES!!!

I can hardly believe it but our agency sent more pictures yesterday.  These have been taken throughout Zoe's life so far and are soooooo cute!  Apparently, all of the children have been taken back to the orphanage for the winter because most homes in Inner Mongolia burn coal for heat and the orphanage is newer, warmer and they don't burn coal.  They feel it is a better environment for the children.   This means she is in the Baotou (pronounced Bow Toe) Social Welfare Institute in Inner Mongolia.  So that explains why the original updated pictures looked like the orphanage compared to all the rest and why she looks so sad in those pictures.  Today our Letter of Intent to adopt Zoe will be officially in China and we will wait on the next step which is our Pre-Approval and the Letter of Acceptance from China. We cannot wait to bring her home and put her little face in our family pictures!!!
