YESTERDAY I RECEIVED MR. LIU'S LETTER!!!!

For those who are not familiar with Sweet Mr. Liu, Mr Liu is a very old man who lived in the same building as the Orphanage..You see upstairs from the Orphange, there is a place where homeless old folks lived....and Mr. Liu for 21 months of my Jia's life would go downstairs , to play with her all of the time.....I believe, that its because of the LOVE THAT MR. LIU Gave Jia, that she is as affectionate as she is. Any way the day Jia was taken out of the Orphange , Mr. Liu cried for 4 days....reason being, he was told by the locals, that westerners adopt their babies so that we can sell their body parts ( HOW HORRIBLE) but believe it or not this is what many countries believe.....anyway once I heard of this and I was told that he had been crying , I asked my Guide ( GLEN) if he could take me and Jianna to see Mr. Liu before we left for the states......Long story short...I did meet him, so happy I did, I promised him that I would never harm our little jia, and all he wanted was pictures and letters sent to him once n a while....I promised him that I would,,,,,and I have..... Mr. Lliu has since rec'd my letters and photos....and guess what! yesterday My guide had e-mailed me a letter that Mr. Liu had sent him to translate for me......THE FOLLOWING IS THE LETTER:

Dear Dante and Carmen,

Hello! I was very delighted to receive your letter, I had to look for someone to help me write back to you since I did not receive much education. Please forgive me!

Dante and Carmen , I was really sad when my JIA JIA left me. She would go to America such a far away place. I could not hold her up and visit her anymore. I often cried for this. I am old now. I can't work and have a hard life. I could not provide a warm home for her. I was so gratified and satified that Jia Jia could have You, such kind people who would make her have a happy life, growing up happily and provide a nice environment for her and take care of her and love her. I knew it from your letter that you Loved Jia Jia so much, you let her learn Chinese and she could play with other Chinese adoptive girls, you show her my photos and let her Love Me. I was very appreciated for it. I also hope that you will mail some more photos of Jia Jias Life in America to me. Meanwhile, Thank you for your Love to Jia Jia and for you to write a letter to me. Please tell Jia Jia : grandpa love her and miss her forever...Thank you for your Kindness! Best wishes to all your family members!

Best Regards

ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE, I HAVE TO ADMIT ...I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF..... I kept my word....and to the Chinese, your word means EVERYTHING....I may have change one mans view of us as parent who adopt .....For so long he believed that we harm their children....Now I know I will never change the way the " WORLD" thinks of us......but I can sure try......one Mr. Liu at a time......and now perhaps My Mr. Liu will tell others in his village...and so on and so on....... and for that I can smile at myself when I little ole me ....carmen looks in the mirror today......My Grandma would be proud.......her name was Rose.....
