Xi'an Children's Welfare Institute
Our last day in Xi'an we went to visit Wen's orphanage and say goodbye to his friends and caregivers. We took Wen to the Lotus Super Center (Chinese Wal-Mart) so that he could take some food to the children. He told our guide that his friends had told him what to buy for them so we let him do all the shopping. Coke, cookies, crackers and candy...and lots of it. There really are no words to describe our visit at the orphanage. So many beautiful children with so little hope. Many of the children are severely disabled and we were told by the director that they will never be adopted. I thought of Jake and knew that we were meant to visit this place.
