Hello Team!! I am Sandra Miller, founder of PANDARAZZI.COM , and coordinator for your group adoption. I am a passionate panda lover and have visited China many times to photograph and work with these delightful creatures. You can see many photos from my visits at http://graffitimagery.com
First I would like to say THANK YOU to the team members and parents for being so incredibly creative in your idea to give your birthday gifts to a baby panda instead of to one another. What a selfless act of kindness and generosity which has truly touched me as an animal lover. You should all be so proud of this decision you have made to give back to your world and environment!
Your baby panda which was chosen for you to adopt is a real doll baby. She is one of a set of twins born at Bifengxia Panda Base where I visited a year ago.
MOTHER: Ju Xiao
FATHER: Wu Gang
BIRTHDAY: July 27, 2010 at Bifengxia
YOUR BABY: First twin- Female (129.3 grams at birth)
Second Twin Male (135 grams at birth)
Your cub was initially accepted by mother and later rejected. Both cubs raised in incubators
I will update here as I receive more information from Carrie Phillips who I work closely with at Pandas International. She gets our updates on the cubs from the breeding center in China and I pass along the fun news to you!
Again, Thank you so much for your participation and for your love of the pandas. This is going to be so much fun!!
