While waiting for our stork to arrive tomorrow to deliver more information about Lauren, I have found the information below. Guizhou is the province of China where Lauren is. It's humid and rainy most days and today's weather forecast is 46 degrees with 20% rain, thunderstorms are to come later this week. Also, thanks to the good eyes of my best friend Jen, I have found out that the cage behind Lauren in one of the pictures, is a bird cage! Jen spotted the bird and to my relief, I saw it too and now know that Lauren has a little bird friend..and that that is not her crib! yeah! :)
Guizhou:
The terrain is rugged, with karst formations, underground rivers, jagged peaks, dramatic valleys, and terraced rice fields. Guizhou, with its rich historic heritage, has spectacular waterfalls, national forests, and awesome scenery. The major cities include capital city Guiyang, Zunyi, Anshun, Duyun, Kali, and Liupenshui.

WOW, she has such beautiful black hair, you are going to have so much fun with that!! I am a little partial to heads full of black hair lately.
Just wait until you feel that soft little head of hair against your face, it will melt your heart! I kept thinking as I was feeling Zadok's head of hair for the first time on my chin, "Is this really MY baby? After all this time, I am feeling MY baby's hair on my face." It is soooo sereal. I can hardly wait for you to experience that!
Don't you just feel incredible right now! Absorb it all Mardi...you will be there soon to see all of your research with your own eyes and all the while holding Lauren in your arms.
Hi, My name is Norah. I'm Mary Schneider's sister. I am so happy for you and Lauren. Mary was so excited for you when she heard. She called me later and told me to look at our pictures. She is so sweet looking. I know these next few weeks will be harder then the last 3yrs. Good luck with your travel. I can't wait to see a picture of you holding her.
Congratulations! I brought my Guizhou girl home almost 2 years ago now. Guizhou is beautiful with lots of landscapes that matched our mental images of China. Travel as soon as you can because it is HOT.
My daughter was in foster care from Guiyang CWI and had an amazing family and the CWI seems to really care about and check up on the kids.
Wheeee! Down the rollercoaster you go!

Those sad eyes are gonna perk right up as your love begins to work it's magic. It is beyond amazing what God is doing through families willing to love these beautiful girls.
