My daughter hit the keyboard and my answer submitted before I had a chance to say... the Poyang Fmilies Yahoo group is really nice & there are some links on my blog to info about the orphanage. It's so exciting seeing your daughter's face at long last & I'm sure you are busily researching her home province and the SWI. :-)
