An Extraordinary SWI... all things considered

I've already mentioned the various events that are put on at Shenzhen Bao'an, all of which make this facility rather unique in the Chinese adoption world. Here's another example of what sets this SWI apart in our eyes. Baden just received a Christmas/New Year's card from Bao'an and this isn't the first. For the past three Christmas' he has received a card wishing him well. Whether it is an act or not, it is still a connection for him to China and way of letting him know that they knew he was there. Here's what this year's letter said:

"The yearly Christmas is coming quietly and New Year is in the corner now. This is reunion day, a happy time. We wish our dear child Bao Shi Bing and the other family members: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Healthy all the year round.
Our dear child, we hope that our wishes and endless miss will accompany you growing up safely, healthy and happily!
Dear Scott and Margaret, we appreciate you a lot for what you have done for our child from the bottom of our heart. Bless you; good fortunes as you wishes and everything is auspicious."

The look of happiness on Baden's face as I read the message was priceless.

Now to go tuck this card in with all of the others.
