Yesterday I received some information from Love Without Boundaries, an organization helping orphans in China. I was shocked, mystified, and confused. Amelia's file provided by LuAn orphanage states that she was abandoned on January 28, 2008, at approximately 4 years of age. However, yesterday I learned that Amelia had been under LWB's medical care already in 2006, two years earlier. In addition, I learned that she had eye surgery in 2007, a piece of information that was not mentioned in any file I saw previously. Two months ago, Amelia saw a pediatric ophthalmologist in California. He couldn't quite make sense of her eye pattern. Now there is a good explanation. I will contact the LuAn Orphanage to ask the correct abandonment date. She probably wants to know when she grows up. I am so grateful to LWB. They literally saved my child's vision and changed her life, long before she became part of my life.

It's a good thing that you found out this piece of information from LWB. Amelia looks so cute in glasses, like a little scholar.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you, Liming. LWB is such a wonderful organization. I am going to have fund-raising party to support LWB.
