Good News about Sam's Orphanage

We joined a yahoo group of other families who have adopted children from Sam's orphanage, Zhang Jia Gang SWI in Jiangsu Province. It seems that God has blessed us because the orphanage sounds like it cares a great deal about it's children. In fact, they like to keep in touch with the families once they return home. They even send the children Christmas cards every year! One of the families just returned from the orphanage and they think they saw Sam! They were given a quick tour of the orphanage and they remember seeing a beautiful healthy boy around 1 year of age. They remember him because it is rare to see what appears to be a healthy boy in an orphanage. We hope to get an update soon on Sam and to get permission to send him a care package. It also might be possible that we will be invited to tour his orphanage when we are in China. In the meantime, we got in touch with someone who does research on finding ads and he has found Sam's finding ad. When a child is abandoned, the orphanage places a finding ad in the newspaper hoping to find the birth parents. It includes a picture (much younger than the ones we have) and a description of where he was found and what he was wearing. I hope to get this soon and I will post it as soon as we get it in the mail. Isn't God amazing? He continues to give us peace about our precious Sam!! It seems it is a small world after all!
