A Good Orphanage

We have been told over and over, and we have been so thankful to hear, that Lainey's orphanage is one of the better ones in China, and that the children are well cared for. It is a huge relief for this momma heart to hear that our precious daughter is in a "nice place". 

But we've also been made aware that a good orphanage is still an orphanage. And it's heartbreaking for any child to be without a family. 

I was just reading this blog post (http://www.lomanadoption.blogspot.com/2014/04/baotou-social-welfare-institute.html) from a fellow adoptive mom. Her child is also from "one of the good orphanages", and yet it's clear - it's no place for a child to be raised. Her post is definitely worth taking time to read, to better understand how things are for our little girl.
