Leslie & Keith's Visit to CWI

I met Leslie and Keith on a Yahoo Group of adoptive parents past, present and future of children from the Xi'an Children's Welfare Institute (CWI). Leslie and Keith were in China in December to have their "Gotcha" with their baby Isabel. During their time in Xi'an they took Isabel and visited the CWI and took a lot of wonderful photos of all the kids on the 4th Floor of the CWI. This is a tremendous "pay-it-forward" activity that has been such a tremendous gift to the many matched, adoptive parents like us who are waiting for their turn to travel to their own "Gotcha" -- including us. Below are some photos of Ahn-Bao that were a wonderful gift to us. You can see all of Leslie and Keith's photos of their CWI visit at Day 7 of their blog at

So glad you were able to enjoy the photos. He is such a cute and happy little boy. As you can tell by the number of pictures he took, Keith really liked your little guy :) Best wishes on your journey - we will be following your blog!
