Additional new photos Saturday, Oct 20 2007 

Here are the photos that Laura took of Gabe last week when she visited Hangzhong. Here’s what she has to say about him: I can tell you he is a cutie and seems to be a very happy little guy. His house mama loves him very much and knows that he is coming to America.”  We can see that he has either gained some weight or they have several layers of clothes on him!

We received a new photo of Gabe today. It was taken last week at the orphanage. A lady from the US and her daughter were at the orphanage celebrating the orphanage’s 10th anniversary and were allowed to tour and take photos. They told her that this little boy was to be adopted soon to the USA.

We hope to have a few more photos that she took during her visit soon. You can read all about the orphanage reunion/anniversary at Kathy’s blog
