A non-moderated group to provide support and information for adoptive families who have adopted or in the process of adopting from Lu'An Children's Welfare Institute in Lu'An, Anhui Province. Topics of discussion include dossier preparation, parenting, adoption issues, and culture issues. It is also hoped that this will become a resource list later for our daughters who came from the same orphanage. Since this list will not be moderated, it is designed to be a flame-free environment where views can be expressed assertively, but without infringing on the rights of others to express contrary views. Photo: 2002 at the Great Wall with Sadira (4 years old at the time). She was adopted in 1999 from Lu'An CWI. We went to Beijing as part of a pre-adoption tour before we flew to Hangzhou to adopt Sadira's little brother, Sonam, 21 months old at the time, from Hangzhou CWI in Zhejiang Province.
