Starting School!





Chao Yan will be starting school next week! On Monday and Tuesday, she will take tests to see how much English she knows and what she still has to learn. Since she just arrived to the United States, we already know she will have to learn a lot! Lots of times, kids take tests to help teachers decide the best things to teach them.

Chao Yan also got new glasses this week. These should help her with school work, as it is hard for her to see well without them.

She will be joining her new 6th grade class on Wednesday, and she is very excited! She will start by just going for half days, because we know it will take her awhile to get used to hearing just English and it's pretty tiring! Her teacher and the other students already sent her a welcome letter and a class photo. They have been so nice, and Chao Yan can't wait to meet them all!

Hello and Congratulations on your beautiful daughter! I believe I was reading about your story on the Holt BB. If it wasn't your family, I am glad to see that this child got such a loving home. You are all blessed and the story about her little friend makes me tear up. She's still so young and needs a family. I'll pray for her and all the kids, as I usually do.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your beautiful family with our adoption world. What a small world it is!

Hugs from NJ
