What I Know About Elizabeth

Shi Cheng SWI

Not a lot, actually. I know she is living in a social welfare institute in Shi Cheng. County Shi Cheng County is a rural, mountainous region in the south eastern part of Jiangxi province. Most of the families in the area are farmers.

And, I know what the person who wrote her growth report had to say about her:


When she was 3 month old, her legs were quite strong and she could hold her little head smiled sweetly. When she was hungry or sleepy she could ask for care giver to hold her. When she was 4 month old, she could turn her head to find the root of sound if some one called her name and made sound which seemed that she talked to herself. When she was 5 months old, QiuYing could roll over freely and raise her head. When she was happy, she would play with her little hands and she could catch toys. When she was 6 months old, she could sit alone for a while. When other children played she would react excited and wanted to join in. Now she is 7 months old. Though she is not fat or fair, she looks bouncy. Her hair is bushy. She has long eyelashes and beautiful eyes. Her eyes are small, so when she smiles the eyes would turn into a line. People give her nick name “little eyes”, and when she hears the name, she smiles more happily.
QiuYing is an active girl and likes playing with other children, listening to music, noisy place to play, being touch on her face, being called “little eyes”.


You may have notice the part about “now she is 7 months old”. Yeah, well, now she is 17 months old, and I haven’t heard anything new about her since this report was written. Because of the remote location, no one ever visits Shi Cheng. I haven’t been able to receive any updated photos or reports. I just keeping hoping that she is doing ok and developing normally. Most of all, I hope she will be in my arms soon.
