Josie's First Home



I belong to a Yahoo group created for the parents of children adopted from the Chongyang orphanage. Chongyang is a rural area located in Hubei Province. One of the parents who recently adopted their daughter from Chongyang posted photos of the orphanage and surrounding area. These are the only photos we have of the place where Josie lived from the time she was 4 months old. The photo above is of the SWI (Social Welfare Institute) or orphange building.



These are the grounds of the SWI. Josie spent a lot of time outdoors, so this is where she would have been.


This is the playroom at the SWI - our first photos of Josie were taken here!

The following photos are of the town of Chongyang and surrounding area:







Our thanks to Megan for providing the photos to our group. They are priceless.
