To Bring My Daughter Home

About Me

Name: Amy Location: Colorado, USA

I am a mother of two (hopefully three soon!), living in Colorado with my husband (David), and our sweet girls.

Our new daughter, He ZiTao (soon to be Eleanor Zitao Nash) is waiting for us in Hefei, Anhui province. She is 6 years old, and has been in foster care for the past few years. We can't wait to bring her home!

If you'd like to see pictures of Zitao, click on the Flickr badge below to see our photo album.

We also have a short video clip of Eleanor Zitao, available at this post: Zitao Video

Books I've Read

These are books that relate to China adoption that I've read and can personally recommend. Many of these would be a great place to start if you're considering China adoption.

Tunes I've Heard

"Gotcha Day" by Ann Pence and "Winds of Change" by Tim Chauvin are both available at CD Baby.

Ann has reminded me that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Gotcha Day" go to Half the Sky Foundation - a wonderful organization that has done a lot for my daughter in China! Anne Pence CD: "Gotcha Day"
Tim has also done some great benefits with the sale of his CD; and his music is wonderful beyond the "Daughters of China" song at the end.Tim Chauvin CD: "Winds of Change"

Movies I've Seen

Personally recommended by me.

(Okay, so "Big Bird in China" isn't really related to adoption, but my kids love it anyway!)
