Update Received

We received an update from our agency yesterday, which included new photos and height and weight of Lana. I have posted the pictures at my other (benign, boring) blog at

http://gretchenfaith.blogspot.com

Lan has gained 1/2 a kilo, so, she is now at 15.5 kilos or 34.1 lbs, and she is 101 cm tall or 39.8 inches. (This places her in the 50th percentile for weight and the 70th percentile for height, so, it sounds like she is tall and thin.) The update also tells us that she likes singing songs and that her favorite food right now is noodle soup. On Sundays she likes going to visit the neighbors to play with her friends. She often tells her foster mother stories about her friends from school, and enjoys using "tracing paper" to "make objects or letters."

It also says (and this is my favorite part)

"Permanency Plan: Bich Lan has been being assigned to the W~ family." .
