If you've been following our blog we posted awhile ago that Mr. Ni, the Vice Mayor of Gaoyou, Jemma's birth place, and the former director of her orphanage, was collecting stories and pictures for a book he was writing. Well, Mr. Ni’s book on adoptive Gaoyou families has finally been published and you can view it from a website:
http://www.aboutgaoyou.com/gaoyou/love_across_boundaries.aspx
He made extensive use of pictures and posts from our blog in the appendix and elsewhere in the book. It is currently being translated into English. In the meantime, the pictures and chapters are loaded in the Acrobat bookmarks for easily location - thank you, Mr. Ni for documenting these stories for others to share!

Hi,
My daughter's name is also Jemma, and she's from Gaoyou! I get Gaoyou alerts from Google and it came up with the link to your blog.
My Jemma Rose is nine years old, and was named Gao Qing Wei while in Gaoyou. I received her in April 2000 in Nanjing. We haven't been to the Gaoyou reunions since Lake Placid but perhaps we'll meet up so little Jemma can meet big Jemma (and her sister Jing Jing, adopted last summer in Hubei, at age 4. She's just turned five).
