Ron received an unexpected call this morning from a representative of our Adoption Agency in Denver. She was recently at John’s orphanage and took the enclosed photos. The first one is John on the lap of a Dr. who came to assess who would be a part of the Chinese program to fix the cleft lips. She said that the Dr. commented on him inspecting her stethoscope and said that the Dr. thought he was a bright child.
The second picture he is in the same outfit (gray shirt with yellow and blue stripe) as the first and looking up at the person taking the picture. I think he is really going to miss all those kids being in his life. Ron and I are talking about how we can arrange for him to be with kids his own age here in CO.
The women who visited the orphanage described our son John by saying: " He is a very active, happy and cute boy and every one at LOCC loves him".
You will see the initials above “LOCC” – this stands for the Lilly Orphan Care Center – the room that is sponsored by our Denver agency and set up in China to model how to care for kids in the orphanage. We are so, so grateful that John is there. It is the best place for him for sure.
Thanks for your prayers and for reading our updates,
Laurie
Yeah! Yeah! and more Yeah! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Abi LOVES being around other children her age b/c her foster mother had her at some type of childcare 2 times each week. When I take Abi to class on Mon. and Wed., she waves at me and smiles...confident and happy to be with her peers. I'll be praying for John's heart...no one can replace those that he already loves but God will be faithful to bring new buddies. :)
