Orphanage visit

We went to visit Maya's orphanage today. We also got to see where she was found. The orphanage staff was very welcoming. We were lucky that our guide Rui went with us and interpreted. The orphanage made us feel sad because of the other children there and even though it was a nice orphanage we feel even more that we made the right choice and "rescued" Maya. The orphanage staff took us out to lunch in Xinhui, a district in Jiangmen, the city where Maya is from. That was our last big step on this trip. Just a few formalities, and we will be home. We love you boys, and thanks to everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and comments.

Thanks for letting us tag along yesterday at the orphanage. It is nice to finally have a picture in my mind to help answer all of the questions that have been running through my mind the last couple of years. Suzy
