The Adoption Journey

After five hours in the car, we have settled into the city of MaoMing, China. Mara Ruth was born here sixteen months ago, and tomorrow we will spend the day at the orphanage where she has lived all her life. It will be an important, yet difficult, day as she interacts with children she has been around and caregivers who have nurtured her. This time will offer her a bit of closure while also giving us a glimpse of her life to this point.
