5. What is her personality like?
She is quiet. She is a smart girl.

6. What does she eat other than a bottle?

7. How would you best describe her?

10. she had heart surgery at Tian Jin Tai Da angiocardiopathy hospital. She was in the hospital since April 26, 2008 until May 20, 2008. She is doing great.

Four pictures attached. She is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Many blessings,
Angela


So according to this report, Faith has already had her heart surgery completed-YEAH! Of course I am sad that she had to go through the surgery in China without us there to take care of her; however, the sooner the surgery the better she feels and the less damage done to her heart and lungs. So with that we are hopeful that the surgery was a complete success and are thrilled to have new updated information about her. She looks great in the pictures like a perfect healthy baby Faith!! Is it time to go get her yet?!?!?!
