Perfect Gift!!!!

After I received my referral I joined the Yahoo Group for Channing's orphanage. I posted about my referral of Channing and met so many wonderful other families who have adopted or are adopting from the same orphanage. A few weeks back I was contacted by a woman who is part of this group. Last June she had taken her daughter back to China for a Homeland tour and they went to visit the orphanage. They got to go inside and visit with the children. Anyways, this lady took some pictures of the children and the pre-school room. So too my surprise this lady had taken some pictures of my sweet Channing!!!! WOW....she looks so little compared to her referral pictures!!!

I'm just amazed! These pictures are so special to me since I have very few!!! This same lady also sent me other pictures of the orphanage and some of Channing's friends in her class!! I have started a photo album now for Channing as I'm sure she will treasure all of these once she is older!!! THANKS again to this special lady!!!!
