Bringing Jack Home: Sam's First Day in China

(From Sam) - It was very cold. We had a very good breakfast. We saw the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. I liked doing the video camera. Our guide is nice.

Quote from our friend, Andy, giver of photo and favors :0)

Michelle and Dan,
Just wanted you to know that when I saw your son Jack in Pingliang he looked good. He is an obvious favorite at the orphanage, is said to be helpful with the other children, and seems to have a very sweet personality. He was a little shy and not quite sure what to make of me. But I told him through Mrs. Yang that I was a friend and knew that his mom and dad who will be coming soon, love him very much. Also, he seems to be very healthy. His cheeks are full and he is not at all overly thin.

Trish told me she emailed you all about the gift Mrs. Yang gave us for your daughter. We will send it ASAP; just send an address. The staff at the orphanage is very interested in what your family is doing for these two special children. Apparently, your daughter was something of a favorite, too. Yours is a really wonderful story.
