TUANFENG CHILDREN'S WELFARE INSTITUTE:
This orgphanage is located in the city of Wuhan. The picture is not very good. Sorry. This is the orphanage that cares for Talicee. From what I have read, she plays here and then goes to the apartment of her foster family.
According to the research I have done, this orphanage is very small. The Director is L. Xuemer. This children's home is state run. It is located about 2 hours east of Wuhan. It is not visited, so unless things have changed since the research has been done, we will not be going there. All of the children are taking to Wuhan for adoption. Only about 70 children live here. This orphanage has been rebuilt since the flood of 1998. According to my research, all of the children are in foster care spend the day here and then sleep with the nannies in the apartments that are located within the same building. These apartments are very small. There is a kitchen, bathroom, activity room and 2 bedrooms.
As we get closer to our adoption, I hope I have some more info on the orphanage. I would like to know what they need. Our agency has placed 59 children from this orphanage to date.
As a family, we are going to set up a fund so that we can send needed supplies and items for the children during the year. My bio children love to help others, so this would be a great project for them to do. Who knows maybe one day there will be no need for orphanages. We pray for this everyday.
