Adoption Blog - 2 Years Old

On October 20th 2003, I started this blog. Below is a copy of the very first post.

--------------------------------------
First Post!
Well, this is the first post for the Adoption Blog. I'm still working on the site a little, but at least I can begin to document our progress as we move forward in our quest to adopt a baby girl from China.

I will use this site to keep our family and friends updated on our progress. And to perhaps even assist those that might be thinking about adopting or those that are going through the journey themselves.

For us the journey has just begun...

--------------------------------------

Wow, time just flys on by. Our journey had a new beginning on January 24th, 2005 - Gotcha Day!

DD: Kaylee
Chinese Name: You Mei Xiang
DOB: April 12th 2004
Province: Hunan
Gotcha Day: January 24, 2005
DTC: June 18th, 2004
Agency: CCAI (Chinese Children Adoption International)

If anyone wants to read about our journey while we were in China, just click on the link titled "Letters from China" in the upper left margin.

I'd like to say thank you to all of the people who have left comments on this site (over 500 of them) over the years. You have helped to make this journey more enjoyable and you have provided helpful information along the way. THANK YOU!

I will continue to post updates on the little Kaylee girl.

Bath Time - Rinsing Hair

Kaylee loves taking a bath. When we say "Want to take a splish splash" she gets a huge smile on her face! But one challenge we are having has to do with washing her hair. It's actually not the washing that's the problem. It's the rinsing.

She doesn't like it when we try to rinse the soap out of her hair. For a while we were just using a wash clothe. We would get it wet, and put it on her head to try to rinse the soap out. But now that her hair is getting longer, it's more difficult. So we tried rinsing her hair with a water pitcher. But she hates it.

We're also concerned about getting water in her ears.

Who has been down this road before? Does anyone have any suggestions? Help.... :-)
