True Children's Home


After emailing with Jenny Smith of True Children’s Home she confirmed that the Xin Jue on their web site is our daughter! The first photo is of Violet at 11 weeks just after her cleft lip surgery! She was admitted to the Tung Wah Hospital in Dongguan on Jan 30 and was released on Feb 8, 2008. She looks so sad and alone. For a program that Todd and I were expecting to receive NO information we are so excited to be able to piece together so much of her history. I cried looking at the picture of our daughter and knowing we were not able to be there and comfort her during such a monumental surgery. Seeing how happy she is now proves she has been surrounded by loving people. The second photo is of Carol Wang (an English Teacher), Jenny Smith of TCH and Violet. Jenny was with Katrina (TCH Director) at the Dongguag No. 1 High School to share with 600 seniors about True Children’s Home and “Making a Difference.” Violet came along for “Show and Tell.” Obviously she was healing well enough to be able to “star” in their show. What a trooper!
