Added Beiliu information Aug 10, 2007, because I found it and it is a little piece of history for Mia.

"I got some information that may be of interest to some of you on our recenttrip. We askedsome questions of Guo Zhen's nanny and found out that the SWI has around 40 children withabout 10 workers. They try to keep the children in small "family" type groups. Guo Zhen wasin her own crib, but I don't know if all children have their own cribs or not. The name Guothat all of the children share in this swi has an interesting story. Guo is thesecond characterin the word for China. It refers to the country of China. Since these childrenhave no familyname, they are given the family name of Guo signifying that they are childrenbelonging toChina, and that all of China is their family."

Still waiting for THE CALL

I'm still waiting for THE CALL..... it is 1:30pm my time, and I'm definitely anxious!!!

I've gotten calls from Sis, Misty, Ellen, my brother Joe.... we're all anxiously waiting, I see!! hahaha. :) I'm so glad I have my family and friends, I'd be crazy without them.

I'm going to go mow my lawn...the backyard, 'cause it doesn't take too long. :) Oh, I guess that means I forgot to mention I came home about 15 minutes ago and will be home for the rest of the day panicking! LOL :D

Peace.
