Visiting The Orphanage

We are back in our room now after the orphanage visit.  It was a rough morning for Bailey.  When we arrived we met with "Nahnah" and were allowed to take some photos and video of her with Bailey. She also cared for Brinley while she was here in the Guilin SWI.

  We then passed out the candy we brought to some of the children outside.  Bailey had a best friend in the orphanage and we were allowed to go inside a classroom and let Bailey see him for one last time.  Bailey handed out candy to each of the kids in the classroom.  After that we visited a playroom and let Bailey hand out some more candy.  After a few minutes it was time to go.  Bailey had a hard time leaving and cried for a long time.  She cried all the way down the stairs and the entire time we met with the people in the orphanage office.

We were able to take photos of Brinley at the main gate this time.  We don't think this is the gate where she was found but it is the closest we could get to it.

The place where Bailey was found is close to the orphanage so we were able to go there and take some pictures.

Bailey was found beneath this tree in a small village near the orphanage. It is a very busy place in this village so we pray that she was found quickly.

  Then it was back in the van and back to the hotel to relax and calm down.  Bailey has stopped crying.  She's been playing with Brinley and just being a silly little girl.
