Red Thread China

We purchased a basic care package to be sent to Violet thru Red Thread China, located in Guangzhou near her Institute. It included a letter with questions, camera, candies for the nannies, foster family or children and a self stamped envelope for the Institute to reply to our questions more conveniently. Ann, from Red Thread China, puts her address on the return envelope and if the Institution responds she emails us the translation. Once we arrive in Guangzhou she delivers the original letter to our hotel so we have it as a keepsake, how perfect. We asked in our letter to the Institute that they use all the film on the camera to take photographs of Xin Jue at the orphanage, with her nannies, with her foster family, and anything they feel may be important to us or her in the future. These were the questions we included:
(1) What is her current weight and length?'
(2) Is she close to a particular nanny? What is this nanny's name?
(3) Was a note or any other memento found with her? May we keep it?
(4) What are her favorite foods and activities?
(5) How would you describe her personality?
(6) Does she have any likes/dislikes/sensitivities?
(7) What makes her happy?
(8) Has she had any health problems or allergies?
(9) What medical treatments has she received?
(10) Do you have her finding ad? Can we have a copy?
(11) Who chose her name and why?
(12) What else would you like to tell us about her?
(13) Does the orphanage need anything in particular?
