Updated pictures of Gracie at the Orphanage!





We've been in cloud nine since the referral! We are so fortunate that Gracie is in an orphanage that has a loving and caring environment. Visitors are allowed, so another member of the DiangJiang Message Board [for families who have adopted from/are in the process of adopting from this orphanage] took the names of our babies who are still there so that she could take pictures of them for us--thank you so much, Dawn!
So without further ado, here is Gracie, along with an excerpt of Dawn's email:

We were at the Dianjiang SWI on Monday and asked to see your daughter, Jiang Ai Wan. She was in the same room as our daughter, Jiang Ai Zhang!

We were able to visit the room and took a few pictures of her. Unfortunately, it was nap time and most of the children were asleep. Ofcourse, when we walked in (me, my husband, our 5 yr old son, my mom and 2-3 nannies) about 1/2 of the children woke up and stood in their cribs to see what the fuss was about. But Ai Wan just kept sleeping. She looks like a litte angel and was so relaxed and comfortable.

Sorry that we could not get any pictures of her 'in action', but all the children we did see who were awake were alert, happy, well fed and very much loved by the nannies.
