I had the privilege of meeting Janie’s foster Mom and Dad today
and what a privilege it was!
Our day started by going to a park to meet all the foster moms and children in the Pearl River program.
When I met Janie’s foster mother we both hugged….
I was able to tell her through Julie how much I appreciate her love and care for Janie.
When we told her that Janie kisses her picture at night she started to cry…
it was a special moment for this Mom…
I gave her the book of pictures of Janie that I made her
and we both cried…..
a time I will cherish all of my life
looking at Janie’s book:)
!
Before we went to the foster parents home we visited with the precious children at the park, went to lunch with the orphanage staff . At which time I inadvertently ate pig stomach, yep that’s right!! It looked just like mushroom, who knew??? I’m not a fan…….
the rest remained on my plate!
We then went Janie’s foster parents apartment
It was surreal driving through the alleyways,
destitute is a word that pops in my mind…
such a humbling experience
the stairway entrance to the apartment
Janie’s bed which is now Hannah’s in the main bedroom
I was also able to meet the parents son who has another bedroom
telling her a little about our Janie
I truly love this woman
what a gift she was for Janie and now to Hannah
I was able to meet her foster Dad as well
he said he loved Qing Zhong very much…
He smiled so big when we talked about her!
They had such a sweet kindness about them….
I was able to tell them how thankful we are to them
that Janie is who she is due to their love and care for her
I am overwhelmed by their quiet kindness
truly a special beautiful time…..
a drastic difference and a breathe of fresh air from yesterday
proof that God gently watched over my baby….
Meeting the kids was such a highlight and an amazing experience, a real heart changing time. I will be forever changed by this experience……

sooooo exciting!! I just love keeping up with your life and all that's going on. thanks for being a faithful blogger so we can be in awe right there with you!! LOVE YOU – sea wee
LOVE these photos!!!! Hannah has been on my heart from the second I saw her, I've tried so hard to track her so we can adopt her. How amazing that Janie's foster mom is hers!! What a blessing to show Janie's fm that book!! I teared up just looking at the pictures of you and her!!! 😉 these foster moms give so much to these kids!! It's amazing to me how they willingly set themselves up for heartbreak again and again to change a life. What an amazingly unselfish thing!!
Also, that pic of Di playing w the boys is too cute for words!!!
As usual, my sweet friend drives me to tears. Such an amazing moment! You are truly blessed! Love and miss you.
