COAT


So, Finnian's Chinese name is Fu Pu Qing.  It means universal celebration!  We are certainly celebrating!!!

There is a non-profit organization involved in the care of the children in the Jiaozuo Social Welfare Institute.  It goes by the name COAT (Chinese Orphan Care Team).  I found this photo on their website: eagleswingschina.org.  What a lucky find!!  It's our sweet boy getting some love!  COAT seems to be doing some amazing work in Jiaozuo.  I will do some more research, but as great as the kids look...it seems undeniably fantastic!

Jiaozuo is 43 miles north of Zhengzhou (the provincial capital of Henan, P.R. China).  It is located in a transition area between the Taihang Mountains and Northern Henan Plain. It has only one social welfare institute that provides much needed care for the elderly and orphaned children.  We will be staying in Zhengzhou.  Hopefully we will have the opportunity to visit Jiaozuo and the social welfare institute and meet the people have loved our son.

Wow! What a wonderful blessing to know that others (even strangers) are "being the village" for your child in your absence.

Keep us posted!
