This little guy was too shy to take the candy from us
Apartments across the river
Community water pump for dish washing
Rice paddies across the river
Men's Restroom
According
to our guide most villages consist of one family and only a few people ever
leave. It's hard not to wonder if Emily might have come from a place like this.
If God had not given her to us, is this the kind of place she would have grown
up in? The Chinese seem so matter of fact regarding their circumstances. Mostly
they ignore us Americans as they are more concerned with getting through their
daily lives. But when they see us with Chinese babies we get the thumbs up sign
from people and are told how lucky our girls are. To them Emily has hit the
jackpot; she is a lucky girl who will have a future full of plenty. It's hard
not to feel for the people who live in this place. I wish that that these
children would have better opportunities for their lives. It also gives me an
enormous sense of gratitude for what we have. I am so grateful that we have
been given the opportunity to be here and see some of the country that gave us
Emily but I admit that I'm even more grateful to be able to take this little
one back home.
