But wait...there's more...

OK...now that I've calmed down a little I will take a moment and post her second picture and tell you a little bit more of what we know. Esther was abandoned on August 27th, 2006. They estimate her birthdate as August 26th, so that will go on her birth certificate. She is from the province of Guangxi, in the southern most part of China. This picture is from when she was 7 months old. In many of the orphanages in China they keep the girls hair buzzed like this to reduce lice infestations. Ruthie had to have us reassure her that she really was a girl with such short hair:) Most of her paperwork is in Chinese, but there is a section that has boxes to check in both English and Chinese. Her caregivers describe her as active, restless, fond of playing with toys, quick in reaction and impatient sometimes. Considering some of the other choices were like quiet, peaceful etc...I figure that puts Esther fitting right in with her other siblings. I will let you know more as we find out :)
