I have to take a moment here to express my deepest and most sincere gratefulness to the wonderful young woman who cared for Ella before us. Its abundantly clear that she gave Ella a lot of Love. Ella had all the things we sent her, and she pointed at us when we arrived at the Government Office. She knew who her Momma and Baba where. There was grieving, and I'm sure there will be more. But Ella's personality started to shine thru last night and I have a feeling I'm never going to ever stop smiling again. She gave us a book of pictures of all of Ella's friends. She gave us a box of her favorite cookies, and she gave us a little girl who hums and sings. Ella is a very happy little girl due to her Love and care over the years we were unable to hold her. Thank you Guo. We will make sure Ella never stops Humming and Singing. ~Dave, Deanna and Princess Ella Chao Qiao |

I bet you just lit up when Ella spotted you both at the gov't office. Guo sounds like a wonderful woman. How lucky Ella has her as an angel to watch over her while she was waiting for you. love from Willis, BB
