Wow. I am so glad that this is something that our children will not have to grow up doing!

"Hey, if she's gets to be a
PRINCESS
then I get to be the
QUEEN!"
I'm a single mom with an amazing daughter! It all started when I decided I was tired of waiting to be a mom. In my search to find a little girl who needed a mommy I was led to the China International Adoption program. I actually started the process in 2005, got my paperwork to China on 1/13/06. China accepted my paperwork and gave an LID of 2/18/06. After waiting 33 months, I finally received my referral on 11/5/08 for the most beautiful baby in the world. She spent her first 11 months in Southern China just above the South China Sea and now she is home with her mama!! I hope you enjoy reading & looking at my blog as much as I enjoyed creating it. During the wait I was a research junkie for all thing IA so please check out all the links in the sidebar under "Find it Here"...it will show you the posts pertaining to that category. Best wishes to all. Stephe

Oh my! I agree!
Oh my goodness. The price we woman pay for beauty!
I've heard of this, but never seen it. The pictures are truly shocking!
These pictures make me so sad. Can you imagine how much it hurts to walk on those feet?
I saw this on a documentary a while back. It gave me the creeps. I just don't get it, and my heart breaks for the suffering countless girls endured as a result of this practice.
As awful as this looks... I find the whole 'cultural' thing about it all interesting yet bizarre... then again I like learning about old and new customs. Have you read 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' by Lisa See? There is footbinding in that book, great book too. I actually have a pair of Lotus Shoes - the pair I have are about 90 years old. Anyway, it was nice bumping into your blog and will visit again one day. Felicity
