Where my little Faith is

Here is a basic description of Faith's orphanage :
SWI Description: The orphanage has been located in three buildings. From 1992 to 1998 the facility was on the second floor of the Jimin ("Helping People") Hospital. From 1998 to November 2000, the orphanage was located in the first dedicated orphanage facility. The current facility, completed in November 2000, is situated just over the river from Wuchuan, has a great view of the river and the city beyond to the west. It is a large three-sided facility, sharing room with an old folks' home.

Misc. Information:
Director:Director Liu Chun Xia was the assistant director until November 2000 (she started with the orphanage in 1997), when the current facility was completed. The old director was promoted, and she took her place.

Adoption Stats:

2000 -- 80
2001 -- 183
2002 -- 212
2003 -- 267
2004 -- 0
2005 -- 20
2006 -- 32
2007 -- 26
On this last map look at the yellow cities and you will see Faith's city, Zhanjiang City. The other yellow city, Guangzhou is where we will be staying in China for 2 weeks.
OK, now when can we get on that plane?!?!?

THose numbers are odd -- why the shut down in 04? And why such a dramatic decrease since then? Curious?

You are so fortunate to be able to stay in Guanzhou the entire time! I'll pray for a quick LOA and TA!
