Minhua-- Our Chinese facilitator



We didn't want any more time on our trip to pass before we posted a few pictures of Minhua, our facilitator. Minhua has been with our group from the moment we stepped off the plane in Kunming. Without her, we'd be lost!

Minhua, a nurse by trade, has been forced into also serving as our guide and trip director calmly walking us through every application, signature and administrative office. Thankfully, Minhua has been involved with many adoptions so she has really put all the families at ease especially us. When we first met Tess, we were concerned because she was such a small baby at 10 months. Minhua assured us that Tess would be fine, she simply needed some TLC and attention. A week later and she was right!

Hopefully we can keep our promise to Minhua and have Tess graduate from Brown! It's no PC, but it'll do.

    You guys should publish your China adventures. You've done such a great job of chronicling everything. Brown it is!
