Orphanage Visit

Dan and I flew to Shantou this morning, returned this evening, and had an eventful day in between. We saw the orphanage where Francie had been living and were welcomed by the orphanage staff. We went to lunch with them and then toured the city in the afternoon.

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to see this part of Francie's life, but it was also physically and even more emotionally draining. I need some sleep and will post more tomorrow after a night's rest to process my thoughts.

  1. It is indeed a very interesting part of this whole process, when you see the place your child grew up. I'm glad you were able to go.
