Orphanage visit

Today was a special day - one that I will always remember.

We had the opportunity to visit Guohao's Social Welfare Institute. He was there the first four years of his life, as well as the month prior to his Gotcha Day. When we were walking up to the grounds, there were already kids yelling his name from a window up above that recognized him.

When we arrived to where the children were, Guohao was able to pass out some cookies that we had brought in with us to his little friends. The children were excited to see him, and to also get a treat. The children are preparing for an International Children's Day, so we got to see them perform a short skit using sunflower props as a cheerful song played in the background. It was precious.

We found out that there is a girl a little younger than Guohao, who he was good friends with while he was there. We were able to get some pictures of the two of them, and we did find out that she was being adopted as well to a family in the U.S. She was just as cute as a button.

He was happy to see everyone again, and seemed proud to show the children his new mama and baba. It was a nice visit.

I will be forever grateful to God, as well as the foster care director and Guohao's foster family for loving our son so much. It has made his transition to us practically seamless.
