Orphanage Trip
















It has been a long day for us. We went to Emma's orphanage in Heng Feng which is about a four hour bus ride from Nanchang. Emma spent most of her time in foster care and not at the orphanage. It is a new building and it seems to be very nice. We were allowed to visit the caregivers and babies. They do not have heat and that is why they are always so bundled up. They were all in baby beds and they could not move because of all of the layers of clothes and blankets. It was sad. They are all so precious we wish we could bring them all home. Again, we don't realize how lucky we are living in America.
We did get to see the place where Emma was found. The picture of the wall with two logs was where she was found. It was quite emotional!!
