China observation

I have a friend in China right now staying at the White Swan. He's not adopting---though he has children from China--he's vacationing after having been working there for several months.

While at the White Swan he's had the opportunity to meet with several of the new adoptive parents there and his observations of the children were that they seemed overall healthier than they have in the past and overall younger. He's been several times to the White Swan, so I respect his opinion and wanted to pass it along.

The babies in my travel group were all healthy & strong. You hear about the babies who can't sit up & they're legs aren't very strong. Maybe its because ours were in foster care, but our girls were healthy, happy, clean, etc. We were all so thrilled to see that they were taken care of!

We came back in January and I totally agree. Our second had healthy skin, no illness and even a nice haircut! I would also add that we saw many many more special needs.
