Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

The LOOT !!!!

This is "Ann", Ann is famous in the adoption world for getting photos and info from each of the orphanages when she sends care packages to your child while you are waiting the painful wait.  She also will take you to the wholesale pearl markets and make sure you get the best quality pearls for the best price.  She is good!  See all the bags and bags of pearls, they all look the same to me, apparently not.... Ann, painfully inspecting each pearl.   Go girl, whatever you say. Baby's first Bling..It took a really long time for all the workers to hand string the pearls, not that Marc and I don't stand out enough, here he is walking around the pearl markets.. fussy baby, video camera, baby backpack strapped on, and an extra large beverage.  Do you thing he blends in? Thanks Ann, you Rock!Marc and Finn making friends in the markets.  People love to have their children talk with Finn and us.  What a beautiful Mother and daughter...

I am sorry it took so long. I know that it is my fault but I know I am going to be thrilled with the result. I can't believe how any pearls there are. WOW. I am loving the pictures and am so in love with Finn. She is such a cutie pie.

Wow! I can't believe you met Ann! How on earth did you find her? She is such a wonderful woman and it's nice to see what she looks like. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Hello, we met the other day on Shamian Island. Thanks for your message on our blog. I linked back to yours, and your family is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations again on your newest daughter. After we walked away, I realized I should have invited you over to the White Swan so your daughter could play in the playroom! We're in room 1511 if you're in the area & would like access to the room!

Take Care,
Darlene Lee

Note to self...you'll have to help me get all of this stuff ironed out when you get home. I'm going to need a little guidance.
