I am a friend of suzanne's and have recently gone back to the beginning of katies blog and read the whole thing! I have a huge heart for adoption, long story. I am pretty crafty and will be happy to make something for your sweet maggie. Do you think "do-rag" look would work? That's what we called them in texas, basically like a scarf or bandanna tied around the head and left to hang over the back covering the entire head. I can pick out some real pretty fabrics and sew them up this weekend. I can have her name put on the back too! If you think this would work and like the idea, can you measure the circumference of her head and send it to me?

It's actually large enough to fit Emma's head (she's 11) so it should work with all of Maggie's bandages. It was something I found years ago at Target and I've had it on display in the girls bedroom because it's so cute.
