Why Hari? . . . Because Hari is the nick name that we used to talk about our second child who has been in our hearts and dreams for a very long time.

FCC is "Families with Children from China". The Indiana chapter is found at http://www.fcc-in.org There are several different activities (a brownie troop) and playgroups. I host a playgroup on the southside of Indy. There will be an Open House in November.

Suzanne!!! I just read through your amazing journey. Congratulations, Mom! She is a beautiful girl and you're a beautiful Mom. With your calm coaching (the hair clip scene was wonderful) and her soon to be new found language skills, she'll eventually learn how to get what she needs without tantrums. Until then, I sure hope you stay well rested! Drop a line when you come to visit Chicago. I'd enjoy meeting your family. Be well, dear Suzanne! Peace. Patricia
