"Harlow" is Home!!!!

About one month ago I was blessed to connect with "Harlow's" forever Mom!!!! Her new perfect name is, Tessa! She met her forever family in Changsha in December. From the sounds of it she has not looked back!! Being able to keep in touch with our Bamboo Babies after they are home is one of the biggest gifts we get here at Pearl River! Tto know our babies are safe and loved is all we can pray for! Thank you Nikki for sharing her with us!

Meeting Tessa in Changsha!

Here is what TESSA's sweet Mama, Nikki, had to say about her new precious daughter!

Tessa is doing amazing, and surprises us each day with how resilient she is! She never cried when we met, and was laughing in the van as we left the civil affairs office on gotcha day. She loves to play with her brothers, and they fight like they've been together for years, not months. She is adjusting to family life where there are rules and limits, but catches on quickly. She just had surgery to repair her special need, and is doing great! She understands everything we say, and speaks about 10-15 words. She can call her Mommy and Daddy, but llooooooovvvvveeesssss her Daddy. Luckily she doesn't reject Mommy, but Daddy has her heart. He is wrapped right around her little chubby pinky finger! We are so thankful for the existence of PRO and the services provided. We are so excited to be sponsoring someone now, and love to tell everyone we know about this awesome organization! Thanks PRO!!!

Happy Birthday Tessa!
Soon another one of our Changsha girls and one of our Hengshan children will be also united with their forever families! We can't wait for their special days when we can celebrate that they are orphaned no more!!
