The earliest picture of Jaime !
This is kind of cool ... a really early baby picture of Jaime ! It's something you wouldn't think of, but most people have seen baby pictures of themselves when they were first born ... not necessarily so with adopted kids. Our earliest picture of her before this was at six months ... but now, we have one of her which was taken when she was only a few weeks old.I think she looks a little sleepy in the picture :)
How did we get it ? We hired a research guy (Brian Stuy) to go through the Chongqing newspapers and find Jaime's finding ad. For those unfamiliar with the concept, a "finding ad" is an ads that the orphanage runs in the newspaper when a baby is brought in, just in the off chance that the baby's parents might really be looking for her. Jaime's finding ad is shown below; sorry for the low-res picture, but I want to respect Brian's copyright.

Melissa,
I also paid Brian to send us the finding add and the newspaper clipping. I am curious how Hope will look like in the picture. It is great to have that, it will be the only baby picture that we will have from her.
