Return to the storm

Anji home RETURN TO GALLERY Orphanage Nanning Village Temple

Our Trip to China Zia joins her family in China through the magic of digital trick photography. Before this picture, Zia thought she must be hiding in China because she wasn't in any of the pictures we sent back. Sometimes fake pictures tell the truth, for truly Zia was with us throughout. Zia joins Raymond, Beth, and Helen on our departure day. This is her home base during our travels. Gathering Anji at the hotel on Sunday afternoon! 3/17/02 @ ~6 pm, China time. First smiles after some early drama. Hotel circus act. A family self portrait with the camera at arms length. The flash mesmerized us. At the Civil Affairs office for some of the official adoption business. Papa harnessed up for a haul around town. The city of Nanning, home of the Mothers Love Orphanage. NEXT: The Orphanage
