Photos from Eagles Wing III in Jiaozuo

Here are some of the children who were Dean's friends during his month in Jiaozuo. Several of these cutey pies are going to be adopted soon, and I am so thrilled that I finally figured out how to log on and get these photos online for their sweet parents!!! I posted every picture I took while I was there, too. Notice there are no pictures of Dean. As I said, he was clinging to my leg for dear life.

As I told my Jiaozou Yahoo group, though, this part of the orphanage feels like a family, moreso than any of the four orphanages I've visited in past adoptions. Jenny and all the Ayis who work there were so sweet and the children clearly felt at home and loved.













This is my favorite picture (although I didn't realize the Ayi's eyes were shut), because you can see how the kids are right at home crawling all over her. Reminded me of home. ;-)

Thank you so much!!!! My sweetie pie was the first picture and seemed to have made in most of them. He'll fit right in with his sister who loves pictures being taken of her. I'm so glad to see those glider bikes because a friend of mine got Felix one just like it!!!! For everyone who is still waiting, I will take photos of ours precious ones on 2/4. This is the day we visit EW.
Thanks-April, Felix Fu Xi mom
