I’m going to make this post pretty brief as it is going to be really hard to post without pictures.  I should have a card reader by tomorrow morning and will update with a complete post with pictures.  We arrived at the orphanage to a gaggle of children calling “Xiao Rui” and engulfing our van.  They all so love Ali and were happy to see her return for a visit. 

There are so many things from today to post that I’m not sure I will get them all.  But I will try.  Overall, I found the day emotionally moving.  So many beautiful young children, so full of life and smiles, and just waiting for someone to adopt them into a family.  And so many of them who will never get out of that orphanage.  Ali arrived at this orphanage two days after she was born and that is the only life she has ever known.  Somehow she was able to become the selfless, loving young lady that she is.  And she isn’t alone.  Many of the girls at the orphanage seemed to take a special interest in taking care of the little ones there.  

I can say that I would probably have brought home an additional two or three today if it was possible.  Kelly probably five or six.  While I don’t feel that everyone needs to adopt children, I do think we all should play a part in bringing some of these beautiful children to a place where they can be loved…
