Look who was hanging out in Elise's orphanage just days before she was born...Tammy and Tony Nolan! I have known the Nolan's since the very beginning of Shelby's adoption. Tammy and I actually paperchased together, and I was able to watch them bring home their bundle of Joy last year. Little did I know that while I was watching their journey unfold in China, my daughter was being born just miles away from them.
Yes, amazing that the orphanage the Nolan's were allowed to visit was where Elise would be brought to shortly after they left. Here is a small video clip of Tony in the baby room where Elise probably spent her first year of life. So incredible to have these little red thread connections all the way on the other side of the world. Thank you Tammy for sharing!
You see Holt International currently sponsors Nanchang orphanage and helps provide the kids with better care and facilities through the donations that you give to their sponsorship programs. Go here to read about Tony's visit to the orphanage. I am SO thankful to everyone who gives money to help sponsor these children. It appears that my little Elise is hopefully being cared for in the best way possible through the support of people who give montly and of course through the aid of Holt International.

Oh, love it. So glad to read that Elise is in such a special place as she waits for her family!
What a blessing! Wonderful red thread connection!
Believe it or not, that is MY daughter your friend is waving to in your picture at the orphanage! Lilah has been home for about 1 and 1/2 years and is a happy wonderful little rascal! She got a fantastic start at Nanchang SWI, and I'm sure your Elise is getting one too!
best,
Anne and Mike
