Our Dear Annie, and friend Sam helped us by translating three letters that I wrote. One to Norah, one to the Orphanage she lived at and one for her foster family.
We can’t thank them enough for this special gift. I also included some questions for the orphanage and foster family, which they translated for me. I asked Annie if she minded if I shared the questions on my blog and she said that I could and if I wanted I could post the letters too. I think the letters are too personal because they have Norah’s Chinese name all through them so
#1. To help parents adopting from China that want to send care packages or take the question with them to China but can‘t afford the high cost of getting them translated.
#2. Because we are still short of funds needed for the trip. If you plan on using the questions and can make a small $5 donation please do it, it will help us out a lot.
You know if your family is able to make a donation or not so it will be up to you.
Please tell everyone you think might be interested in the translated questions about this post and where to find it. Please don’t post these translated questions on your site. I had to get permission to use them here myself. The translated questions will always be here on this site. If you don’t know how to cut and paste them so you can print them out to send to your Childs Orphanage or take with you on your trip, email me and let me know. I will email them to you my email and mailing address are at the top right.
If we get to $0.00 needed in the red for the adoption in the top right corner of this blog, or we return from China. Please make your donation to
