    Found your site through RQ. Just wanted to send congrats on your referral. I also wanted to let you know that we adopted our daughter from Guiping December
    2006. She was VERY well cared for, she was starting to walk on gotcha day at 13 months.

    Congratulations! My daugther, Belen Yan Min (named Jin Yan Min in China), was also at Guiping orphanage. She is now 5 years old and she is a very happy girl. May be you want to join "Guiping girls" group in yahoo. You will find a lot of families and all the information you need for your travel.
