I found a map of Jiangxi, the province where Mia is from. If you look up in the upper left hand corner to the left of Nanchang, you will be able to locate Tonggu, the county where Mia is........My agency said she was in foster care, but I think that she has probably been back at the orphanage since our referral... Clicking on the photo will enlarge it
I also found a Yahoo group for Tonggu families!! How awesome is that! I am so excited to get to know families who have children in the same orphanage. So far I know of two other families with our agency, whose children are from the same province, same orphanage. Possibly our children might even be "friends" and play together, that makes me feel so happy for her...I don't want her to be alone..*sniff*
Oh and another site I found, http://www.redthreadmaps.com/, where you can order maps of your child's province that they can customize for you, clothing, pictures, gifts...all kinds of things. It is definately worth a look see, I will probably order some things for around the house and her room...

I just met a family that were celebrating their first family day anniversary today. They happen to live in our town. Isn't that cool? And the child is from JiangXi. She's a cutie pie. Small world is an understatement.
So glad you found a yahoo group for your SWI. They will be very helpful to you before you travel and to Mia as she grows up.
This is getting exciting!

We have a Mia too !
Hello from another Tonggu momma! Congrats on your referral. We came home with our Tonggu gal in 2005. The SWI Director has a reputation for truly caring about the children, which is such a reassuring thing, I know.
Tonggu Momma, thanks so much for posting that. I have been a little anxious lately, wondering if Mia was ok...It helps to know that the director is truly caring about the children...
