Katie's Writing...

This is a letter that Katie wrote to us in December. I'm told by a local Chinese friend that her writing is very beautiful!

Here is the translation for the letter:

"Hello Dear Dad and Mom,

I want to have a home. Thank you for giving me a home. I'm so happy! Finally, I have a dad, mom and sisters and brothers! I hope you will come to China to pick me up very soon and I can get together with you. I love you and I miss you very much. I am studying for first grade at nearby Wantou Middle School. I hope to go to America very soon and adapt to their study and life situation.

Love you,

Yang Chao Yan"
(The translation of 'first grade' really means she's in her first year of middle school.)

This is such a precious letter to us!

Thanks to the owners of Kam Fung restaurant who are nice enough to translate for us, we have been able to write back to Katie. :-)
