Playground outside of Lynea's orphanage |
What an amazing unbelievable day...more than we hoped for! Went to Lynea's orphanage and met with director. New facility since Lynea...very clean and spacious and colorful with fun children's decor everywhere. Care takers for babies 11 years ago retired last year but while we were there she just "happened" to come by! We could not have asked for a lovelier visit or more positive! I am so grateful for tender mercies! They allowed pictures of the outside only but they did let us walk through some of the babies' rooms.

Then we went to the hospital to see the spot where she was found..in the hall of the hospital.
Very busy crowded place. She is pictured near a woman holding a tiny baby. It is a women's and children's hospital. Other picture is of main gathering lobby of hospital where we think might be her finding spot. (Photos coming soon)
Rest of day turned out not as lovely!!! We went to the airport about 3 o'clock to catch 4:50 flight to Beijing. Had been raining a lot since day before. There was a big thunderstorm in Beijing so our plane was delayed. They kept announcing the delay with no projected departure time.
Pictures show waiting, waiting, and waiting some more in Hohhot airport. Cami in several sleeping poses as she somehow managed to get comfortable enough to sleep about 5 of the 7 hours we spent there.
Shanae befriended a Chinese business man by helping him charge his phone with her IPOD charger. That was also a huge blessing because after about 6 hours of waiting he came over and said "Shanae, they have moved the gate of departure.
There had been no announcement, they just wrote it on a white board in Chinese characters. I don't know if we would have figured it out or not, but even the boarding was only announced in Chinese. Shanae really took care of us well! We finally arrived in Beijing and at our hotel about 1:30 this morning. Had to be up at 6:15 so this was a short night!
We are having trouble accessing the blog or even computer. Sending from a tablet and some difficulties with that, so sometimes hard for us to send all we would like or to keep up.. . hope it comes through making sense!
