Researching her whereabouts.

As you all can imagine I've frantically "Googling" for information on where our daughter is and what we should expect when we get to travel.

Thanks to those that have gone before us there are images of the facility. The first picture is of the facility that is currently caring for her.

The county has over 2000 years of history and the most recent name Yangxi (Yang means - Sun, Xi means - West) was given in 1988. Prior to that it was Nanhai from 214 B.C.

A SWI is a combined orphanage and elderly home and everyone in our small group have gotten referrals from this location.

Yangxi SWI was funded by Yangxi Township and upper government agencies. Established in December 1999 it is considered the largest full sized non-profit social welfare organization in the area.

Next photo is of the baby room. This is what we have come to imagine after meeting with people that have been there. I guess the first big adjustments will be fewer neighbors and a softer bed.

More about the Yangxi area. It can get very hot in the summer and even remains warm in the winter. Rains are typical in the April and June. The Yangxi county is agricultural and famous for good quality rice, sugar cane, peanuts, sweet potato, tea, banana, and lychee. Also since it is ver near the ocean seafood is abundant and common.

Famous for foods such as salty chicken, Rudong(seaside), duck tender bamboo, and fish rice pie. Locals love to eat fish rice pie, shrimp rice pie, mati cake and jelly fish. And to me none of it really sounds that appealing although I really like our "American" version of the cuisine.
