Wulu Village

I tried to blog last night but was sooooo tired and blogger would NOT let me upload any pictures. Here are some quick photo's of our day at Wulu Village. At the Wulu village we got to see many dances, artifacts and woven tapestry that is part of the aboriginal culture. This was really a very interesting field trip for us. It was especially meaningful for us as Lauren is 1/2 aboriginal herself. Lauren's heritage comes from the Amis tribe. Every where we went the other aboriginal people would stop and say Amis and comment on how beautiful she was. Here is Lauren trying on a traditional baby headdress. Too cute!



Here is Lauren with Mr. Yeh and Alex. They are the most amazing med. They love babies and love sharing their culture. They make this trip so fun.
Here we are at the top of the mountain heading into the Wulu village. So beautiful!



Miss Lauren sleeping and sucking her thumb.

Here is a photo from my mom's camera. This is me being given Lauren for the 1st time as I walked into the foster mothers house. Amazing.




Off for the day with Mr. Yeh and Alex:)

  10. Robin~

    It is so exciting and emotional to see you holding Lauren. You were the first person I "met" and have followed on the Taiwan journey so that makes it extra special to see you have gone from referral to the proud mommy of a amazingly beautiful daughter.

    I am thrilled things are going so well and thank you for taking the time to document all this so we can cheer you on!!!

    Many blessings to your family~
