Today is truly beyond words.. Pictures will tell you more than I can eloquently write.. But, I can't go to sleep without sharing this special day with you. We were invited to meet the Pearl River Babies and foster parents from Changsha #1 at a local park. When we arrived 12 precious children were there waiting for us.. In many of their hands were flowers to greet us with.. My job today was to take pictures, along with stealing some smiles, playing a little peek-a-boo, making silly faces, and having my heart filled up in a big way.. There was one forever memory that melted my heart.. I will never be the same after this special day!

I made some new friends at this play date that I will never forget... There were some precious moments that involved the foster parents too... It was clear to me and anyone else witnessing this party that these children are well taken care of and loved... A few extra priveleges that we were blessed with today at the park... Jennifer and Paige were able to meet the foster mothers that took care of their girls until they were adopted. And, I was able to share some pictures with some families back home who are waiting for a couple of amazing little boys to join their families.. Blessed is the only adjective I can come up with on this late night in China!
The Sweetest Firecracker you will ever meet.... Ms. Meng
Like a child, I never wanted this play date to end... I hated saying goodbye... Thankfully after nap time we met up with the babies at the orphanage for a final goodbye.. But, that will have to wait for another post! Until then, here are the precious faces from Changsha #1!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Are these children up for adoption? You all are doing a beautiful thing and love following along. Love the pictures, so precious.
