Deluxe accomodations for adopting parents: Our Hotel in Changsha.
The streets and sidewalks can be dangerous places. On our way out of town this morning, this little crash occured right in front of our bus.
Crowded accomodations in the orphanage that Melissa spent her first 11 months. However, there used to be 80 children in this building and today there were only 15 of them.
Melissa did not express excitement about being back at her orphanage.
Orphanage building, called Xiang Yin Social Welfare Institute, because they also care for elderly and disabled people here.
This is where they found Melissa, early in the morning of December 6, 2007. It is a well-known high school.

Having a nice cry before bed. It has been an emotional day for all of us.

I'm sure she is so glad that they found her in front of the high school, because now she is with you guys. We have snow here in Fort Collins, we'll take care of your driveway and sidewalks. Pouncer misses you deeply, and he now enjoys sitting on Kristinas bed with me when I pet him. He jumps up all on his own!! We're anxious for the day when we get to see Melissa in person!
