This afternoon, I got the strange notion to check out WAC*P's waiting
child list, as I was looking at the older kids....
I came across a familiar looking face. I hesitated, but then asked
Joseph if he knows this boy.
"yes, yes! that is my friend from the picture!"
Then more excitement we found 13 kids from his room/section of the
orphanage....I now have faces to go with at least 17 of the 32 kids that
he lived with. Some of them are home, some are coming home, but at
least 13 are on that list.
It was interesting, he told us tidbits about each of them...some "very
smart" one has "big mouth, broke my yo-yo"
One had "this" - one shoulder higher than the other. A few were very
good kids.
So if you are looking at the kids on WAC*P's list and they start with
JH5 let me know.
Then he asked to see the orphanage on the world map...found it on Goo*le
Earth.
Then "find my family home?" "no, too far"
Well he wrote his address for me awhile ago....(thank goodness, because
he claims he doesn't remember it now)...
so we entered that into the same program and after some false
starts...(translating into Pin-Yin doesn't always go smoothly)
We found his foster family's home town! He found his school, but not
his house....it was a bit confusing seeing the houses from above.
Wow! You are amazing me finding all these kids. I tried to look at the list, but I guess you have to get permission?
ReplyDeleteYour Joseph seems way older than my Joseph. Just an observation from reading your posts.
And my Joseph (still calling him by his Chinese name) refuses to talk about China at all. I've asked him lots of questions, but he just gives me silly responses and changes the subject.
Wow, just wow.
