A little bit more about Hefei CWI..

Annie has been living at the Hefei CWI. About 2 weeks ago, we received a video of a visit to the orphanage and Annie's foster family. This was one of the most amazing things. We got to see what Annie was like about a month before our referral for her. We think she was about 16-17 months old. Boy, she is cute. Also we learned that the orphanage is a great place. Annie has a foster family with several other siblings. She has foster parents who are very affectionate with her and her siblings. The apartment that the family lives in is very large even by US standards. The children have their own beds and the apartment has 3 bedrooms. The school at the orphanage is great. It looks like any US preschool and in fact nicer than some of the ones we looked when we were shopping for the right school here. We are so thankful that Annie has been in such a very great place. Did you notice her hair??? How nice and shiny it is? She has been very well taken care. We are so blessed.
