Today we heard from one of the families who traveled to China on Thursday. One of the families traveled to Ningxia to the same orphanage where Saiya is! We sent pictures of Saiya to them with the hope that they might be able to give us some news of our daughter. Here is what they had to say:

“I saw your girls today! They look good and seem happy. I recognized them right
away. We went to the Children's Welfare Institute to get Matteah at about
9-9:30am this morning after a trip to the bank.
I had a group photo taken with your girls today. I will send it to you later.
Our girls are all friends and are together all the time per the staff. They
appear happy and healthy. The staff truly cares for them. I was able to take
pictures outside the children's home and in the entrance with our girls and
staff. We did not tour the orphanage today and I was told I could not take
pictures/videos inside the orphanage. We feel Matteah was prepared well. She
cried about 5 minutes. The girls said good bye to her before they left to go
outside to play.
Make a list of questions to ask about each of your girls. I did and received
additional information on how she came to the orphanage. Information that was
NOT in her referral documents.”

We are so happy that they were able to see Saiya and that she is doing well! We really can’t wait to travel to China to pick her up. Chris kept asking me if she was sad that we were not there to pick her up as well. It broke my heart. But I’m sure she is well taken care of and I’m glad that she has friends who will also be coming home to the USA. We will do our best to make sure that they can see each other once they are all home.
Hopefully, we only have about three and a half weeks before we leave for China.
