4 week report due to China

Our first post placement report is due to China since we have been home 4 weeks!  Kenisha, our social worker, came to visit to make sure all is going well.  This will be the first of many reports due to China over the next few years.  Along with each of these reports, all adoptive families  are requird to send 10 current photos.  The pictures go to the government officials in China, therefore, they must be culturally sensitive, as well as place an emphasis on "family life".  Some examples include no food on mouth (birthday party/spagetti pictures), child should not show too much bare skin, child should look happy, and pets should not be pictured too close to child.  Notice in our "backyard baseball" picture, two dogs are watching us; we kept nudging them away from us to get the picture:)
