On January 25, 2006 myself and the rest of the April 27th Log-in group received a picture of their angels. Among them five families received red threads connected to five beautiful princesses in Xuwen, China. These precious children would finally be placed in our arms on March 29, 2006. But on January 25th we finally got a glimpse of our forever children. A year later I created the first college of the Xuwen girls. Every year I try to create an update picture, its truly amazing to see the girls grow and blossom
