More pictures and orphanage visit




Pearl's nannies. The woman in the middle was her main caretaker since Pearl was two days old.






The orphanage building




We had a great day today. Lots of walking around and finally at 3 p.m. we drove out to the orphanage. We spent an hour there visiting with the nannies, seeing the other babies and walking around with Pearl so that she would be used to us. She cried a bit. We then met with the director. He wished us much happiness and thanked us for taking care of her. He asked that we come back and visit when Pearl is older.

When we got back to the hotel, we gave her a bath. She seemed to like it. We have also discovered that she likes soccer on tv (or at least Eric seems to think so). Right now she is on Carli's lap holding a book and "talking". She seems pretty content.

You have no idea how happy I am for you. This brings back so many memories. Can't wait to give that little Pearl a hug.
Love Aunt Jodi
