[QUOTE="gateship, post: 181463, member: 5679"] :happy: Thanks once again for the support and complements! they help a lot. As to her clothes- they come from her previous homes as does all of her makeup. We are given almost no stipend for her so we cannot afford to go get her new clothes as well as all the other things she needs. I think I must have mistyped before because though she wears makeup like a hooker she does not dress like one. She does dress in clothes that are not exactly age appropriate but sadly the fashions for kids these days do not help matters. The clothes issue as with the makeup issue we are mainly leaving for her new adoptive parents to deal with. Don't get me wrong we are working on the makeup especially but it is not our main focus.
