Smile Divino Nino Orphanage in Nicaragua

We adopted a 7 year old girl from this orphanage in August 2007. We have no photos of her prior to meeting her other than 1 photo when she graduated from "Kindergarten" at age 5. I know many people have adopted from there and have been there on mission trips etc. I'm hoping to find her in someone's photos. If you may have some photos I can take a look at I would really appreciate it! We have 2 bio sons and she she enjoys looking at their baby pictures. I would love to find some of her. She was in Divino Nino from July 2001 until May 2007.

Thanks!

Amy

I don't know anything about this orphanage, but we have been considering Nicaragua since we lost our baby in Guatemala. We would appreciate any info you could send about your agency and process. Please PM me if you can. I hope you find pics of your little girl.

Amy, I saw the title of the thread and my heart about stopped! Then I realized who it was and remembered I was going to look through all my pictures for you. I will have to do that, but I know my computer crashed and I don't have all of them. Let me see.......

Thanks Dawn! There are plenty of pictures of Melinda on the Nica Adoption Meetup group if you want to compare, or if it's easier to just email me photos that's fine too. I appreciate it!

Amy,

I was following your posts on this group when you had the problems with your adoption with Maryina, and I just wanted to tell you I am glad to see everything worked out and you were able to adopt Melinda. Hope all is going well,
Stefanie
