HI, Thank you for your input on the white hair thing. I now just keep it shaved , it is less to deal with. I have 2 long real hair wigs as in my pic, then 2 med ones same basic colors. then 2 really short ones dark brown, (I only wear these 2 at home) not in front of strangers, Just my immediate family, it is hard for people to know I am bald, they forget so that is cool.

Well have a great day and oh ya , your daughter is beautiful.

talk soon Denise,

Hello Lori- Nice to hear from you.I usually live in Ottawa but am in the US for a few months. I now wear an older Indian Remy Yaffa-that I had cut down by Aaron at Studio B on Bank St in the Glebe-she runs a funky little salon and is not afraid to cut wigs- I am so -oo- way out of that age range-I am retired now-but she was great to work with and didn't make me feel "too old".
I also wear a very short Milano EHH wig-that I bought from a vendor in Montreal.Milano is one of the Brooklyn Jewish companies that make good quality EHH wigs-but with very standard caps. But not many make short wigs.
Allegria in Toronto also can do a short wig but none of those companies are able to get much blond hair-so I had to get highlights added to make the hair look more blond.
I am not interested in vacuum wigs because I get so hot so haven't really got into any chats about them-although I know they get really good quality EHH.
I don't trust Continental in TO because of their prices-they were bad in 1969 and I don't think they are any better now. Also, because I wear short hair I find most vendors aren't too interested in working with me.

I loved your comment once about the place on Merivale Road-way too expensive and not too user friendly. She doesn't take to me because I have been wearing wigs for 40 years so I know a lot more than she would like me to.She charged me $175 to cut a wig because I had not bought it from her.
Of course a lot of the time I wear synthetic wigs-for convenience. I buy from Kathy Tonkin who helps moderate the wigsupport forum and also sells wigs.
So that's it for me-maybe I will do some more wig shopping while I am in the US -not sure.I love the pics of your daughter-my younger brother adopted a girl from China- she is amazing-now a real lovely, opinionated, talented and fun 14 year old.She has brought so much joy into his life.
BTW- I am hopeless with this type of forum-I find it confusing so hope I am doing the right thing for a response.

Hey Lori.

My wife (also Lori) and I adopted through Children's Bridge. Our first daugher, now 10 yrs old, is from Chongqing and our youngest who is 8 yrs old is from Yulin, which is in northern Shaanxi. We've travelled with a few Ottawa families through our journeys to China.

We live in Newmarket and are lucky to live in a pretty strong China adoption area -- the girls even have class mates who are adopted from China.

We're in the midst of planning a homeland tour for May 2012 and can't wait to get back and visit China!
