Well, we are officially 2 now. Time is flying. I can't believe it's already time to schedule her 6-month followup appointment with the social worker. She is adjusting so well. Things are progressing with treatment for her arm. The doctors at Shriners want to do a shoulder tendon transfer on her. We saw several doctors last week for her appointment at the lectureship and they were all in agreement that she would benefit from this surgery and they would like to do it soon. They also talked about a hand surgery but they recommended we wait a year or two. I am anixious to find out all the details of the tendon transfer. From what I have researched, it is very involved and she will be in a cast for around 6 weeks. It will all be worth it if it helps her gain some use of her arm.
I posted some new pictures so take a look at our precious girl.

UNTIL FOREVER
This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
Her tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing has heard her soft moan
She is soon taken to a foster home.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same day in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
"Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China until I make my way
and then in my arms she'll forever stay."
-Tom Fisher

Ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
