Although an orphanage isn't a place you would want your child to be raised, we have been extremely pleased and impressed at the care our girls received. We can see that they were happy and felt loved their. The caretakers are more then just nannies, they truly seem to love and care for the children. As we view the pictures they took for us (we sent them a disposable camera and got the pictures developed today), we can see why they were sad to leave. These girls have been taught very well. Of course we are helping and teaching them many things, they amaze us at the things they do. They fold their own clothes so neatly, they clean up after themselves, and they go to bed so well- when lights go out. These girls are very independant.
They are learning boundaries quickly and playing so much gentler and sweeter with each other. There are many unknowns, adopting an older child, but we are so thankful for these amazing nannies that took care of our girls, and for orphanages that do all they can to care for these children. Even the director stayed an extra night in Guangzhou to check on the girls as we had to come back with them the next day. He genuinely cares and loves these children.
Our girls seem so happy as they settle into their new home and family. We love their laughs, their great sense of humor, and a smile to melt your heart. They are delightful! Paul stated today that this was a good idea :), he is the cutest dad!!
