So today we walk down from the hotel to the SWI to meet with Miss Yu. I am beginning to realise what it is like for our daughters to be constantly under the stares of people as we are attracting quizzical but friendly looks wherever we go. I am sure we will cause an accident as the scooter rides crane their necks in disbelief as they pass us by.
DR seems relaxed and has rehearsed her 'Thank you for looking after me' speech in Mandarin.
Miss Yu is completely as expected, warm friendly and very welcoming. DR seems OK and is more than happy to take her hand and sit on her knee for pictures. Miss Yu gives us open access to the file and we are allowed to xerox information that we did not previously have, including copies if her footprint!
We are told that the finding site, which we assumed would be in Yangchun is actually around 40kms away and we are hopeful that we can travel there on Friday.
We get shown around the orphanage. Mostly it is SN kids and a couple of very young babies only weeks old. We also visit the HOG as DR was in that building and get to look around the rooms she was in.
Tonight we are dinning with Miss Yu at the world renown Golden Rock Hotel - the place of legend in Yangchun adoption.
It's weird, but being here makes me feel good inside, whatever that means.
Popped out to the supermarket this afternoon to buy some drinks and stuff. Stopped by a couple of kids who wanted to take our picture and have their picture taken with us! Got some great pictures of Life in Yangchun.
Splendid photo! And splendid story!Our dream is ever go back to Yangchun too with our Linne Hua Shu,adopted on May 9 2005.I remember Mrs Yu as a very kind women when we went to the SWI same year.
ReplyDeleteWe will wait a few years, when Linne will be bigger for such a long travel.
Lots of hugs from Belgium
