Unexpected Kindness from Complete Strangers

We (well, mostly Heather) have been actively following adoption blogs and online forums.   Connections have been made with others that have recently completed or are in the process of an adoption from China.  We received an unexpected surprise over the past couple of days from not one, but two families that travelled to China last month.  They picked up their children from our same orphanage and got to check on baby sister!

These families were kind enough to take the time to take pictures of our baby!  We're so very thankful for this.  Baby girl had these visitors within a day of each other, just before her first birthday.  We were told that the nannies seemed very attentive to the children and seemed to care for all of them very much.  It sounds like the conditions of the facility are sparse, but clean.  We learned that baby's crib is located near the play area and the main entrance, so we can only imagine our little girl welcoming every person that walks through that door.  :-)

Enough talk, on to the new pics!
