  1. I'm SOOOO glad you get to visit New Hope! That was THE highlight of our trip. Amazing, amazing stuff and you'll get such a great sense of where Ellie has been and the love showered upon her. Take lots of pictures and ask Ellie's nannies to sing some songs on video for her. Abbie LOVES looking through pictures and videos of our time at New Hope.

    If you visit upstairs (the white crib room of the Heartbridge unit), tell them that Ling Yuan Qing (Bonnie by New Hope and LWB; Abbie now) and family say hello!
